Cape Gooseberry
Melons (from a mixed seed pack I had off Dawn-in-the-North)
Oh and spinach but the slugs seem to have had that.

Rest is all tried and tested stuff, well some new varieties but I've grown the veg types before.

Quote from: "purplebean"
I was expecting lots of new growers to be trying new things but I'm surpirsed that DD and gobs are trying anything new as they come across as so knowledgeable and seasoned that I would have thought they had tried everything by now  :D


How many thing are there to grow? :wink:   And the garden is not endless, I'm afraid. :lol:  :lol:

I've just bought an olive bush and a pomegranate bush.
Got some mini terracotta pots for them this year, transplant them into bigger ones next year, should look good either side of the French Doors
I think I need professional help.
We use chemicals in this garden, just as god intended
