I've always grown Cobra French beans, but this year am also trialling Blue Lake.
Heard good things on here and elsewhere, so though I'd give them a go.
I have always had an amazing crop for many months from Cobra, but they do go wild in their growth spread.
The blue lake have so far in the greenhouse produced 100% germination and very strong little plants to be planted out later next month.
Always trial a few new varieties of potatoes along with my staples.
This year I am growing Sally, Sarpo Una, Aaron Victory and Alouette.
Will also be growing Cara and Nicola again that I grew successfully many years ago.
So far the Sally and Nicola are growing very well with good strong growth..
The other maincrops have not been in long but all breaking soil nicely already.
Have grown all kinds of cherry and tumbling type tomatoes over the years and still drop back to my Garden Pearl and Cerise Cherry.
Am trialling Mr Fothergills Bush Cherry Falls this year.
So far 100% germination and strong little plants that have survived their first pot move, now growing well in the greenhouse in their bigger pots and will later next month be transplanted outside to their final destination pots and hanging baskets.
I also grow carrots, but only as baby carrots in pots.
Have grown my staples Amsterdam and Touchon over the years, but this year am also trialling Burpees Short 'n' sweet. Only just sowed last week outside in pots, so not sure on how they are doing yet.
I'm for the first time growing Cosmos, Dianthus, Gazania, Verbena and Petunia from seed.
Had good germination indoors and after their potting on into larger pots in the greenhouse, have now moved some outside a few weeks back and are all doing nicely.
