"what i grew" thread.

Stressica

Apologies if there is already a similar thread, just thought it would be cool to have a survey-like-thread where everyone compared what they grew last year and what they are growing this year

what did you grow last year.. ? good yields?
what part of the country are you from?
what are you growing this year and hows ut coming along?
greenhouses v direct sowing? what feeds/ground prep? what varieties did you used?. etc

Last year:-

Carrots - purple cosmic ones - great!
Cabbage - three different varieties
Spring Onions
Pak Choi - two different types
Oriental mixed veggies - we eat a lot of stif fries here (wife is Chinese), fresh mustard in particular was a hit
Mangetout
French Dwarf beans
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Spinage
Garlic
Chillies
Swiss Chard
Tomatoes - from a cheapo packet , disater, none ripened before autumn
Loads of different fruit

This year differences

+ will be planting several different varieties of carrot
+Kohl Rabi - dwarf and masssive
+Garlic Chives
+Multiple different varieties of Garlic (last year was just a tesco one planted..this year far far more planted
+Oca - loads of different ones
+Callaloo
+Cucamelon
+Japanese Beefsteak
+Multiple different varieties of tomato - started earlier than last year, hopefully will be more successful
+Several different varieties of chilies
+Peppers
- Broccoli - took up too much space
- Cauliflower - took up too much space

Probably forgot a tonne of stuff but thats all i can remember at the end of my night shift
Can't wait for the warm weather and watching the garden explode into life again, so wonderful!
only thing in the ground so far is the garlic, some kohl rabi, pak choi and chinese cabbage planted a couple of weeks ago was a non starter
