  • What new vegetable will you grow this year?

    I am going to try Okra for the first time, I know I like to eat it.

    I will give Aubergines one last go I have only ever managed one fruit in 3 years.

    I will NEVER grow asparagus peas again they were disgusting tasting and wasted a raised bed. They were only edible when tiny and too laborious too pick enough and over 1 inch in length were woody like old runner beans.

    This is my first year of cropping the asparagus after a long wait.

            I'm going to try potatoes and shallots and maybe a few different types of beans. My 3 year old wants to grow cabbages so I suppose we'll have to grow a couple of those. I am somewhat limited due to the size of my garden, but I may take over a patch of my Mum's garden for pumpkins, onions, borlotti beans for drying and globe artichokes.

              Cucumbers that look like lemons, A miniature runner bean that grows in a patio pot, I'll have another go at Okra, nothing came up last year.

                    Heritage peas for me. But also the first year of growing banana shallots so really looking forward to trying these.

                    Oh and lots of different chili's.

                      Apart from the usual veg I attempt, I'm going to have a go at growing these for the first time:

                      Florence fennel
                      Watercress
                      Sweet potatoes
                      Pak Choi
                      Lemon Grass
                      Purple sprouting broccoli
                      Radicchio
                      Chillies

                      .... pests, diseases & weather permitting!!! (It pays to have a get-out clause!!) LOL!

                          This year, courtesy of the shelter afforded by the walled garden I am going to start globe artichokes ready for next season, going to lay down 20 artichoke crowns in a bed, and try celery too. At my own place it will be all the usual suspects with the addition of Kohl Rabi, Chiogga beetroot and Golden beetroot.
