Hi Barrie, I do like trying different varieties to see what suits my soil and situation but this year I am planning to grow two different vegetables. Last year I bought a sweet potato plant from a local garden centre as it was reduced because the season was getting on and I grew it in a 30 litre container and harvested 4kg of nice sweet potatoes in late October. As a result I will be growing more but in the ground and it will be a mixture of slips from a seed supplier and (I hope) slips from ones I have propagated.
The other new vegetable I will be growing is Yacon, a perennial plant that grows sweet tubers that can be eaten raw or cooked and once you have bought several of the small tubers you have a plant for life as it is easily propagated.
Onions, chillis, peppers and Aubergines are in 🙂 One of the other youtube channels I watch suggested Real Seeds. They are all about saving your own seeds, and very organic, which I haven't done other than flowers. I've bought Bleu De Solaise hardy leeks, and a coupe of other things, one being Czar Runner beans which I am told are really prolific, (I can send you some if your interested!) Sunday looks to be dry, so I'm planning to spend a fair few hours on the allotment, rather than the mad rush in a morning to feed the chickens. New season, so exciting 🙂
I'm ordering from Premier Seeds this year, cheaper by far than many others, great choice, cheap p+p, quick delivery with minimal packaging.
Hi Barrie. Im trying Pak Choi (red) for the first time this year. Been down the garden today and working towards the long term plan.
Happy new year Barrie, hope you have a great year in the Garden, I grew ramrod and Ishikura last year, I am sticking with ishikura this year. The others went soft late in the season.
We grew Bedfordshire champion onion they were amazing and a pink spring onion called Lillian very sweet lovely.
We grow greyhound and primo cabbages and swift sweetcorn
But this year we are trying incredible and fiesta which is coloured for popcorn.
Celery we grow Victoria and we grow monarch celeriac
What potatoes do you grow we always grow rocket earlies then Charlotte 2 nd earlies we don’t usually grow main crop but we buy them from farmer in a sack and they have gone up in price to £10/ sack so my hubby stanley says we should grow them this year. We buy Picasso and they are a fantastic all rounder but what can you suggest Barrie?
We've had similar issues with our main seed supplier. Kings seeds have been much better as have a lesser known supplier Simpsons, who specialise in tomatoes and chillies. Last year we tried their hanging basket/tub tomato Romello with fantastic results, great flavour and super productive., best variety we have found only problem was keeping up with them.
