From reading various posts we all seem to have a particular crop that no matter how hard we try we can't grow.

Mine is Peas    I have sown two full packets of kelvedon Wonder this season and got about 10 plants from over 600 seeds sown. Plotters either side can grow the blighters in abundance so it is not the soil.

How about you?

carrots for me, most dont germinate those that do (despite expensive enviromesh shield) get eaten by fly

[Loubs]

Dwarf French Beans for me. Two sowings came to nothing. I decided it was the seeds in the end, so bought a new pack, which I'm anxiously watching over to see whether they are in fact my nemesis, or just a bad seed batch

Onions and shallots.  All other plot holders seem to grown huge onions - ours just stay small.  Garlic is usually fine - no problems - but onions .......   We must be doing something wrong but cannot figure it out.

Only my first year but it seems to be cauliflowers, 2 sowings of 20 each and only one plant to go out

Radishes, i've been told i've got a boron deficency.

Radishes, i've been told i've got a boron deficency.

I'd rather that than a mental one

Problem crop is Garlic for me yet onions, shallots, leeks all fine. I planted my garlic in the late autumn early winter they had enough frost to promote cloving etc the tops grew nice and green about 3 weeks ago the tops went over and brown so I lifted one to see the results. I got one tiny bulb a little bigger than a walnut. Lifted the rest sadly the first one was the largest no idea why. There's always next year.

Mine is radishes too, three times we've tried and failed.

I even tried at work in the courtyard and they became snail food

[rivkele]

mine's any kind of brassica, they just don't germinate. don't know what i'm doing wrong.

Mines parsnips- numerous sowings; some in greenhouse, in veg patch at home, in allotment, under mini polytunnels, not in polytunnels- they never seem to come up; yet know our soil loves them as when inherited plot- end of March we pulled up a bounty of them left by the previous people (scrummy parsnip soup was had by all!)  :happy

[digalotty]

too many to list ,     rocket keeps going to seed   sweet pea never come up and peas eaten by mice on a regular basis

exotics!!!
none for me. okra failed as the other exotics.
aubs.... they dont just sprout at all. Aaaargh!!!
never had green fingers for salad bar. after tens of pounds of experiment, found one way to grow it. used a last year hanging basket to grow them and they are thriving there atlast!!!

Everything i through in the deck just grows ... i'm only doing the basic stuff like cabbage , broccoli , peas and the likes ... but i must have really good soil

My otherwise green fingers desert me when it comes to iceberg lettuce. I have no problem with cos, butterhead, loose-leaf or any other kind of lettuce so why on earth can't I grow icebergs
