What is on your 'must grow' list please?

[VirginVegGrower]

Franchi seeds are also in the bargain buckets at the moment in a couple of our local garden centres

This year I really must grow celeriac, i've been buying it all winter and love it. (Where am gonnae put it is another matter mind you.)

I think it's going to be a physical impossibility to grow everything i've bought and I may have to do a bit of guerilla gardening on the side.

Top of the list for me are...

Parsnips
Swedes (Tipperary Turnip is very tasty)
Delaway Cabbage - grows tall like a Kale and is cut n come again
Leeks
Carrots of all sorts
Cucumbers
Cos and Red Oak Leaf lettuce
Strawberries CFav, Elsanta and Ostara
Rasberries
Gooseberries

I have 12 Apple trees and 2 Cherry trees but they are just babies yet

I have another half plot at the allotment site this year so I can grow some 'extras'. I have already planted broad beans (which are up) onions and garlic.
My 'must haves' are tomatoes and cucumber in the greenhouse (only a little one, 6 x 6) but I did not buy toms or cukes for 5 months last year and the taste of bought ones just does not compare.
Early potatoes
Runner beans
French beans
Beetroot
Carrots
Peas - these rarely make it to the pot or the freezer - OH and I eat them raw, so need to grow loads
Lettuce - salad leaves and Kos and iceberg
Radish
Leeks
Spring onions and more onions - we eat tons
Cauliflower
I shall persist with celeriac as I really like it and thus far my 2 attempts have been rubbish - but my first 3 goes at cauliflower were rubbish until this year when I did have some success
Courgette
Gherkins (buy cheap seeds from Lidl - they are great)
Sweet peas, nasturtium, cornflowers, sunflowers
Raspberries, strawberries and rhubarb
Main crop spuds

Going to try winter squash again as they are easy, just found them to be quite tasteless but I will try Crown Prince since lots of grapes recommend it
Going to try cabbage too
It is threads like these that rekindle my enthusiasm when the weather is unpromising and the plot is muddy

Ooh.. I've been spending days happily sorting out my humongous stash of seeds into what I'm growing, and what I merely got carried away buying. So far I'm definite on:

onions,
garlic (and elephant garlic),
leeks,
broad beans,
peas, peas and more peas,
runner beans,
french beans,
a couple of asparagus peas (because I've grown them before and I like them :P ),
as many squash as can be squished,
courgettes,
tomatoes, on the patio/windowsill and on the plot,
chillis, probably inside,
carrots, in as many colours as I can find,
parsnip (if they'll germinate this year),
brussels sprouts, PSB and cabbages,
spuds- pink fir apple, an undecided first early, a good baker and something a silly colour,
jerusalem artichokes, because I don't have a choice in the matter,
and a selection of undecided misc, mainly leafy stuff.

I don't mind if some of them don't work too well, so long as I get something interesting. I'm enjoying playing with small quantities but lots of variety.
Come on spring!

[veg man]

News ones that i haven't tried before.
Brussels sprout Petit posy.
Melon Bardot.
Cucumber Socrates.Tomato Strillo.
Chinese Broccoli.

I love to grow almost everything listed above.

But regarding a permanent list I'd have;
Amish Paste Toms (in the GH)...........big plum toms lots of flavour
Cosse Violet beans.......don't go stringy/taste good
Kohl Rabi (azur).....quick to grow root and greens are great on the Sunday roast
Summer crookneck squash........tastes like nothing you've ever tasted!
and finally FRESH peas.........gotta have fresh peas......never make it to the kitchen tho!!!!
