What are you currently growing???

[Lazybones]

I need some inspiration now that my lottie is getting bigger by the day.  What have you all got growing that I can still grow from seed and get in?  Anything other than the usual??? I'm sure we would all like to know.

Thought I was limited by the space on my windowsill at home but have just realised there is absolutely loads of room on my very sunny office windowsill but I haven't ordered any additional seeds and the garden centres all sell really dull things around here.

All advice gratefully received  ;D

My first year so might all seem dull to you but have just acquired seeds of:
courgettes, aubergines, leek, swede, carrot, lettuce, radishes, parsnips and broad beans.
I'm really pleased to see hte variety in planting times - 1 guy (who knows what he's doing) hasn't planted anything yet, so I'm not stressing.  Course, he could have loads of seeds on the go - OMG I need to get going!! SG

Legless !!!! My gawd what a list!  You'll send the rest of us into a tizzy now  :)

There's loads of time tho so I'm not stressing.  I'm sowing (when I get round to it - Maybe beginning of May - some unusual squashes for myself and for the in bloom allotment where I help out as we get visitors there and we like to show them some unusual vegggies.  We had some old winter cabbages which we ate but we kept the roots and stalks and planted them in rows upside down, and labelled them "Australian Cabbages".  Honestly, some people were fooled  ;D

Parmex carrots seem quite unusual to me, oh and Romanesco brocolli.  Purple podded climbing french beans, borlotti beans are lovely to look at and eat.
Courgette "Sunburst" also pretty and fab to eat :)
