Do you grow something new each year?

Tomatoes that are strawberry shaped are a Suttons packet called Tomatoberry Garden F1 that I chanced upon for 50 pence up the market (and still in date)
Will report with pics if they come to fruition!

good luck with those

Just gone through my vast array of seed packets again. Found two varieties of Chinese cabbage, Wong Bok and Yuki. Never grown Chinese cabbage before.
Also new this year, broccoli Romanesco, brussels sprout Petit Posy, Brokali Apollo F1, all T&M, and spring onion Shimonita.

Yes we do.
The final decesion is down to my little cabbage patch kid, I will give her a short list of fun things to grow and she decides.

Over the years we have grown purple carrots, purple caulis, all sorts of squash, last years was apple cucumber.

This year I talked her into Brukale, this is supposed to be a cross between Sprouts and Kale, I have an invisible source that prevents me from growing sprouts, its become a yearly challenge with other plot holders, I will invite one person to grow 3 plants, every one so far has failed and no one knows why so this cross hopefully will work.

I love trying new things each year - usually a different variety of tomato - but with my new plot lots of it's new:
pumpkin, sweetcorn, courgette, radish.....

I'm going to have a go at chilli peppers and bell peppers, I reckon if I plant them against a south facing brick wall painted black then I'll have a kind of storage heater system going on that hopefully will get them to ripen before October!!  (of course that's if we get the sun...) 

another something new for me - globe artichokes sown at the weekend

This year it's a tomato, heritage yellow stuffer, cos I like stuffed tomatoes. Also mini bell peppers. OH has bought some ornamental gourds, but I don't know where he thinks he will plant them!

I am trying those - they are on my window ledge - have you had germination yet

Yes, everything has germinated, though the gourds are only about 75% and there are only five peppers, can't remember how many pepper seeds were in the packet, probably not many. The toms will need pricking out next weekend.

pak choi

Grew a few last year and they were easy peasy.

Husband loves cooking stir fry in his Wok so I am experimenting with different varieties I will let you know how we fare.
