Silver chard is a doodle and gives you a lot of good leaves - I found it didn't run to seed as easily as the rainbow chard.  Mine went on and on and on until the snow  and that was the end of that.  Will be planting more of it.  Try in a frittera (sp?) with left over potatoes - absolutely excellent lunch.

nasturtiums are good in salads, but a little does go a long way.  They are very peppery. 

My experiments this year are sorrell, sugar snap peas and a lucky dip pack of winter squashes.

 I'm putting in sugar snaps too. Wasn't going to bother because of pigeons,  but I'll probably have to put a deterrant for the puppy so will try to keep woody out as well.

I've grown asparagus peas before but I wont bother again!! Not a very good crop, and the ones we picked were very tough. This year I am trying lemongrass, sweet potato, jim jams (gourds, purely decorative) ginger and Maro a mushy pea.

Torreya - the Policeman's or should that be 'mens' boots were from Wallis Seeds.  I mentioned them to someone at Ryton Organic Gardens at the potato day when I was looking at some heritage beans seeds and he had never heard of them they are described as 'black seeded with red and white bi-coloured flowers, beans excellent when eaten young' priced at £2.30 for 25 seeds or £4 for 50 seeds. They have a good choice of peas as well. OH has already picked up the packet and done his Dixon of Dock Green impression I cant wait to give them a go.
