Hmm.... you don't want to see my list... at the moment its about three pages long.... i need to scale it down!!!!   I have a LOT of seed collected, mostly unusual varieties... like to try a bit of everything....
Though I can say that the potato varieties i'm growing have been decided and ordered...

First Earlies: Lady Christl, Red Duke of York, Ulster classic, Sharpes express
Second Earlies: British Queen
Early Maincrop: Harlequin
Maincrop: Ambo, King Edward, Edzell Blue

A row or two of each....
You can get a fair idea from my potato plans why the overall list might be waaaaaay too long to make fun reading!!! ha ha

  :blink: 

[DD.]

I also would had a list as long as your arm, which would be boring and meaningless to others.

Nice to see another Ambo fan though, Sapartacat.

And you've collected another couple along the way, that I know of.

[DD.]

Fingers crossed our local nursery have got them in this year, they've not put the list up yet.

[arugula]

Mine are on their way from Garden Organic.

Don't believe in paying postage and these are as cheap as Wilkos a well!

I'm not blessed with a large choice of shops.

Never grown them before DD... your glowing reference carried a lot of weight when i made my choices!! 

Most of these are new to me though- have only grown Red Duke of York and Sharpes express before. Both goodies! And Ulster classic I rem when i was a kid- wanna know if its as good as i remember.
I'm gonna have waaay too many spuds, but... I'm one of these strange folks who like supplying half the neighbourhood with fresh free veg!! 

[Mash Mad]

This year Im trying quite a few new veggies.... mainly for showing but you can still eat them as well   

Heres my list....

Beetroot - Pablo
Cabbage - Ramco...
Onions - Kelsae, vento....
Toms - goldstar....
Runner beans - Stenner...
Potatoes - Kestral, Bluebell, Winston...
and some peppers  

Im also gonna have a go at leeks but im undecided what variety yet... if anyone could help im looking for a variety which will produce long white stems... like the ones for showing but i can buy at B&Q or my nearby garden centre...

It might not seem like alot of veg to others, and i would love to grow loads more... but i aint got a lotty so its all done out my back garden...

No pressure on me for them to succeed than!

:happy: Oh, i wont blame you if they don't. I've had good years and bad years with everything i've grown. If I have a poor crop, I wouldn't rule them out again if they taste good. (otherwise I'd have given up on most veg by now!)
