I agree with DD. I grow the varieties I like so my list is mostly my favourites with a few new things thrown in.


Spot on!!

(I would say that wouldn't I? :lol: )
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Butternut Squash - Some wot I was given


Is this F1 or heritage?  ;)

I'm not trying to be contentious.. and you are right... if a list of top ten varieties are what I will start a new thread..

They're obviously heritage as I inherited them rather than grew them! :lol:

This has gone from posting favourite varieties to what I am growing.....

How about we limit each poster to naming their 'top ten' always grow each year and why?


But surely in the main we are growing them because they are favourites?

This is SalJ1980's thread and I don't see her complaining.

If you want a 'Top Ten' thread, you could always start one yourself!


Now now boys, no squabbling please!  :wink:

Thanks to everyone who's posted their lists, big or small, it's been very interesting, and (contrary to what I'd hoped/intended) has probably just made it even harder for me choose next year's varieties as there are just too many!  :lol:

Organic...so far!

I love squash Sunburst, cut at golf ball size. If I only grew those I'd be happy

If I can have one more it would be squash Crown Prince

forgot to add:
lettuce - Cut and come again one. Will not sow two long rows next year as it all appears at the same time (D'OH), but loverly all the same. any that goes to see will be fed to the hens/Guineau pig (in small quantities)

Butternut Squash - Grown from left over seed after having a B'Nut squash last year.

Like others i will have to print this off to decide what to choose from next year!
