[Bing]

newbie in allotment and wondering what are the populars and eager to find out what to grow to avoid disappointment in my first year.

already planted,

vegs: potato, onion, broad bean (plants are badly damaged by ants at the moment), Jureslem artichokes, garlic, letus, ruburb

fruits: strawberrys, blackcurrent, rasberry, blackberry(thornless plant but no sign of growing yet), grapes (as well looks died)...

what are your best grown things?

[Aunt Sally]

peas and runner beans YUMMMMM !

[Paul Plots]

You just have to add beetroot and carrots

Wish I had some carrots! After the slugs got the last lot I'm waiting impatiently to see if the next lot come up ok.
I LURVE carrots!

Me too but, for the first time, mine aren't up either... they're still sitting in the packet/s! 

No rush as there's still lots of time to keep on sowing carrots especially Autumn King.

Leeks, tomatoes, green beans (dwarf or climbing).

[Kimberley04]

Courgettes and squashes

[Robster]

you must put chard in.  Tremendously productive, tastes great, looks great and overwinters

[peapod]

Peas,parsnips,carrots, spuds, swede, onions and Brussels sprouts

All my essentials

[JayG]

Not quite sure what you mean by "best grown" but in any case I can't let sweetcorn be left off the list!

Some people seem to think they're a bit difficult but as long as no undue risks are taken with frost, they're planted in blocks and well fed, they are virtually trouble free (OK, not the most productive vegetable in recent summers but one of the most yummily fantastically delicious!)

Sweetcorn must be in the top 5. Easy to grow, not a lot of pests and great to eat.

[mumofstig]

Runner beans ...an absolute must for me

peas, french beans dwarf and climbing, winter squash/pumpkins, courgettes and chard.

Tomatoes are easy to grow in a greenhouse or under plastic, but not reliable outside IMO
unless we get a lovely long summer

[lancashiregardeninggal]

spinach, kohl rabi, turnips, kale all easy and can be picked young, redcurrants and gooseberries very easy fruit - don't worry bout the blackberry  it will probably be fine and knock you for six when it starts growing proper
