Your Bucket List for 2019

So far, salad leaves, rhubarb and overwintered spring onions.

To come, hopefully, runner beans, courgettes, homegrown spuds, leeks and my first proper harvest of raspberries - plus at least one I haven’t grown before (attempting aubergines, parsnips, oriental veg, red/white currants and multicoloured caulis)
