I'm hoping to move into my new hour in the first few months of next year, so it will be a prime time to get started with the gardening/growing.  I'm sure I'll be quite busy setting up the beds etc so I might not try anthing too new.

What I would really like to get into the garden is some raspberrys - but will have to work out what space!

I'm keen to get a greenhouse, so if I do that will influence what I grow

So fun looking forward to next year!

Greenhouse cukes - OK I've grown them for the last 3 years on the trot, but if they live long enough to produce even one fruit that will be a new experience for me!

I am going to try sweetcorn, broad beans, pak choi, romanesco cauliflower (thanks to suggestions on this site) and onions from seed (thanks again), oh and garlic (which is already in and looks ok so far).  Fingers crossed!  And I'm also hoping to do better with spring onions...

Blacktail Mountain watermelons. They were bred to grow in cooler climates with shorter winters than the southern US where most of our watermelons grow. These are super sweet, crisp red flesh with a dark green rind. I'm drooling already.

It's only 2 tiny little pots Surbie - sure you could find space 

Don't encourage her!!!!

I'm expecting it to be slow and faffy but looking forward to trying. I shall sow samphire in 2 deep pots. 

Oi! What are you inferring DBG?!

They sound brilliant! Are they for growing outside or in?

gonna try a cape gooseberry in my newly built poly carbonate green house next year

heard they go mad

I recommend them. Still harvesting now in December
Make sure you get the right genus

They're for growing outside in the UK under cloches. They were originally bred in the mountains of Idaho, a rather cold country in the northern US so they'll grow well in our warmer areas.

I'm going to try multi-coloured popping corn, and loofas, which are actually edible before they turn into back scrubbers!

[3 allotments]

Im going to try honeyberry, allgold rasoggs,some curly kale,and butternut squash

[blackberryjam]

I'm trying butternut squash, root parsley and french beans  and growing onions from seed

I'm going to make an effort with the brassicas in 2014. Had some promising cabbages last year and also some caulis that the caterpillars/birds devoured....to be fair I didn't spray them or protect them in any way. I'm going to make a few home made mesh tunnels and give them a fair chance.
I'm also going to give melons a decent go this year so will have to cut back a bit on the usual squashes that take up most of my plot.

OH got boxes of interesting seeds from his sister yesterday - now I have to figure out where to grow them ....

There were ones we grow anyway (gold courgettes, tigerella tomatoes, gold beetroot) and some odd balls (purple carrots being a particular challenge) and others I cant remember.  Plus flowers ...
