What are your top three plants that you like to grow and why.

For me its

1 Spuds, I love the time when you dig them up its like discovering buried treasure , plus its a veg we use at least three times each week.

2. Onions. we use these every single week and they are so easy to grow, just plant the sets water when dry and watch them grow.

3. Brussels Sprouts. Over the past three years I have only has success in one year with sprouts, but they mean Christmas to me and a darn good time.

What about you?

Gem squash - spouse's favourite
Rhubarb - spouse's second favourite

For me it's :-


Potatoes.

For the same reasons as others have stated, the ones I grew last year made fantastic roast potatoes, the ones from the shops aren't firm enough, for me anyway.

Carrots.

My carrots don't taste any different to the shop bought ones, but I love just pulling them out washing/peeling and having them with the roast dinner an hour later.

Garlic,

We use it a lot, I've 135 of them growing now, I know cause I counted them yesterday

Courgettes - just love them and home-grown taste so much better.

Mangetout - especially for the kids - they eat them raw like sweeties

Globe artichokes - dipped in melted butter,bliss.

[Carrotcake]

Tomatoes - there's nothing like the taste of homegrown toms

Courgettes - so much bang for your buck

Raspberries - just love them!

[boosh]

spuds- earlys , they just taste so good compared to maincrops
parsnips- like early spuds just so tasty
shallots- compared to normal onions taste better and store well can be pickeld

[lucywil]

mine would be butternut squash, sweetcorn and runner beans, they are easy to grow and the supermarkets charge a small fortune for them, so not only do i save loads of money, they taste so much better as well
