I pondered and wrote down what I like the sound of, compared against last year's and hit mainly the new for 2013 in the end. Some that I thought last year, I'd have this year instead, aren't there. Hence, I decided to request new ones rather than established regulars. It's not easy though, is it?!

Give me chance VVG! I've only seen it today
Daubenton's Kale will be one - as its, in theory, perennial, although I thought it could only be propagated from cuttings; maybe the Afghan purple carrot, perhaps Mother's Six week French beans because I like the name! something from the new seeds and???
Not a tomato as I've saved enough seeds for next year!
Okay, changed my order (slightly), form has been filled in so no more changes. Final choices are Wild Pigeon Bean (the name makes me smile), Daubenton Kale (yeah I thought it could only be propagated by cuttings also, wasn't there a bit in the GO mag asking for advice about how to post out cuttings?), Robinson pea, Daniels's Defiance RB, Peacevine Cherry tom (again like the name! Don't need any more toms, don't need any more peas either but hey ho) and lastly Hongs Vietnamese Mustard. Would have liked to have picked Starley Red Peas but somethng had to be dropped (I like the name).
Why is sweetcorn the food of the devil, when it tastes heavenly?
It's the texture I can't cope with, you bite into them and they explode like a spot with a great big head full of puss (apologies if anybody is eating brekkie ) and it can't be right that the outside bit passes through you with even your body rejecting them. Grow a few every year for OH and try a bit every few years but it makes me want to gag and even the thought of it now is turning my stomach! Like pretty much every other veggie though but wish that restaurants wouldn't keep booby trapping perfectly nice dishes with the stuff.
On a nicer subject, am making my decisions today so will post later to share what I've asked for
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

I laboured over Starley Red Peas too

OK, have picked. My first choices are Aubergine Szechuan (had this before but didn't manage to save the seed successfully), Afghan Purple Carrot, Vietnamese Mustard Hongs, Bangladeshi Dhata Calaloo, Climbing Bean Poletschka and Starley Red Peas Dwarf Bean. Fingers crossed

Will try and save some assuming I get my first choices.
