Part of the joy of growing my own, is being able to choose from such a wide variety of vegetables and fruit. Each year I like to try something new. Last year moonbeam squash (patty pans) caught my eye, and it was interesting watching them develop. This year, I'm going to try Sweetcorn.  A bit more mundane perhaps, but just as interesting for me. more.
What are you trying this year ?

I love trying new stuff, this year I have loads to try!

I'm doing about 10 varieties of chillis thanks to the seed swap (choc habs, white habs, peach habs, pretty in purple, hot banana, and a couple of others) few more toms (beams yellow pear and purple krips I think it is), few beans (tiger eye, roquefort and another) and some squash, again through the seed swap (warted hubbard, crown prince, spaghetti squash, table ace, and a few others which again I have forgot!). Have also just put some jerusalem artichokes, oh and 10 salad blue potatoes!

Keep me busy!
Thats the best thing about GYO, growing stuff you can't get in the supermarkets!

[Lardman]

I like to try and do something new each year - either a variety I've not done before or even a completely new veg.

I failed so badly last year with my pepino plants I'm trying them again but Im still looking for something new this year.

I agree, there's so much out there. You have given me some more ideas.

I try a new tomato (at least one, anyway   ) and new pumpkins every year.
This year I am growing tall peas for the first time

Im a bit pushed for space so i only grow what we know we like, i would love to try growing some unusual  stuff though.

[Becci W]

New type of tomato, peppers, chillis and aubergines (hopefully) because I have a greenhouse this year!!!

[stentman]

I always try something new. Last years was a variety of carrot sized radish (Pink Dragon) went really well. This year in addition to my standard runners I'm trying borlotti beans and as I had a poor result growing toms in growbags I am also going to try hanging basket toms.

[smc]

 also i am trying aubergines this year, heard they need lots of heat and very rich soil, ie manure and loads of it, am i right??

[mumofstig]

I grow mine in multipurp and feed them with tomato food  but yes they do like it warm

I think part of the joy of GYO is you can choose from a wide range.  So, I also have a couple of 'experiments' each season. This year it's black beauty aubergines and roma plum toms.  

slightly off topic  - but I also like to try new planting methods too. for me, this year it's carrots in a barrel last year was loo rolls for almost everything - worked a treat

There are some great names for different varieties of plants
My lottie neighbour grows carrots in a barrel too. She says the carrot fly can't get them there.
