My Top 10 Successful Veg

**solway cropper** · 04-09-2009, 09:53 PM

Mine would be, in order of success:
Leeks
Potatoes
Beetroot
Runner beans
Cauliflower
Peppers
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Celery
Carrots

I define success in terms of yield, ease of growth and resistance to pests/disease. Lots of other stuff grown as well with varying degrees of success. Would have put onions in there but this years crop was a complete disaster.

OK - in order of success/yield this year...

Onions
Garlic
Courgettes

Sweetcorn

Chillis
Strawberries
Redcurrants
Blackcurrants

Purple sprouting broccoli (kept sprouting faster than I could eat the stuff)
Cos lettuce (was meant to be mini but leaves grew to about 18")
Senshyu onions (full of flavour and no sign of bolting)
Peas (taste is fantastic and still cropping)
Aquadulce Broad Beans (overwintered gave a fantastic crop)
Flamboyant Sabina radishes (if you like 'em hot, fantastic)
Turnip (liven up any stew)
Carrots (various varieties, no sign of carrot fly this year so good crops)
Kale (still growing and looking good)
Beetroot (would have been higher on the list but I left them in the ground too long ad they went a bit woody, my fault)

Difficult to come up with a top ten as there are plenty of veg that have provided me with more than enough of a harvest but then I only have two mouths to feed.

Peas have been outstanding and am still picking them
Broad beans
Runner beans
Turnip
Cabbages
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Peppers Sweet and chilli
Garlic
Lettuce

Have not included parsnips, leeks and winter brassicas as there are good crops of them but haven't started to harvest them yet.
