Ive still got some seeds left from last year if overwintering doesnt work
Id highly recommend them
I'd do you a swap if you like?  I've saved some hab seeds, (V.V.V HOT!) drying on the kitchen windowsill as we type! (Mrs B cut them on a chopping board, and washed it thoroughly afterwards. She then chopped up some carrots for our tea. Everyone noticed they were tinged with chilli! :D

more of: Everything!

We just took on an extra half plot that as of this morning looks like this:
I guess I'll have to alter my location.

But in particular we're growing more green beans - this year the Cherokee/trail of tears have been epic, and we're going to try out another couple of types, more types of squash, more shallots, more peas, more more more.

Happily swap some Bom. Ive got a full packet left of the apache.  You'll have to take your chances with the Prairie fire though, Im saving seeds from the plants, as only 2 out of 10 germinated.
Ill spare 5 of the apache (fresh) with more of my own, and many more of the prairie (but home harvested as I said)

Will not be growing onion from sets, but from seed, especially mammoths.  Will not be growing runner beans but instead grow a lot more french climbing beans.

Peas (if I can find room), beetroot, garlic, and some french beans would be nice after this year  ::)
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Artichokes, raspberries and more different types of squashes and other curcubits like patty pans and yellow courgettes :)

 Less potatoes and weeds...   :dry:

More onions and spuds (have only just got an allotment so didn't have much space this year.)
More peas and beans.
Grow some parsnips and caulis as I didn't grow any this year.
More broccoli but less cabbage.

Definitely more broad beans and tomato varieties.

Will also put in a couple of extra rows of spuds.

More peas, more leeks. More of anything I can find room for - am going to have to do a lot of soil preparation over winter for all the more mind you!

more flowers to make it look perdy

peas and carrots - but sown in succession this time so that I can spread the harvest. Also soft fruits. I've just cleared and prepared a space for them for next year.
There's more comfrey here than you can shake a stick at!
