If I were to cross anything off my list, it's got to be aubergines.  Last year I grew Calliope F1 outdoors and was successful but all other varieties never amount to anything and just take up greenhouse space.

This is my first year with aubergines and I am very pleased with my crop of Black Beauty aubergines in the greenhouse.  I gave my neighbour a couple of plants which she has grown on her south facing patio - they are doing well, though smaller than mine.

Peas are on their last chance next year, but I am going to try dwarf ones, grown under enviromesh tunnels

and how do the bees get in to pollinate the flowers?   ;)
Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

Peas are self fertile and so do not need bees for pollination  :)
