Courgette!

And I only need 1 plant!

I picked ,4 tonight, got more to pick in the next few days.

If I could grow runner beans here they might possibly take over from cabbage, but as we can't grow them here cabbage is no.1

Runner beans...

They're not my favourite but it doesn't feel like a proper season if there are none in the garden. I'll always grow them even if I don't pick and eat them

LEEKS  -  leek n potato soup, cheese n leek pie, leeks n mash ,roasted leeks, leeks n ham with cheese, leeks in lamb stew, beef stew, chicken casserole - oh and my favourite, leek and potato soup

Oh  -  and they are there, waiting for picking in the depths of winter.

It would have to be runner beans.  Totally gorgeous.  Also I get the satisfaction of walking post the really horrible monsters all bruised and stringy that they sell in the supermarkets and being really smug.  Mind you that goes for most things.

By the way I was dead jealous when I saw that Oliveview was harvesting courgettes already as mine are only an inch or two long at the moment.  Thought I must be doing something wrong.  Then realised I would need to move to get courgettes that early!!

There is a large plot if land with a house and pool for sale not far from here...... Plenty of room to grow courgettes

Now there's a thought.  No more nail biting on "will we get a frost tonight?".  Probably swapped for "they've all been burnt to a crisp" a bit latter on.  Not a problem I am likely to get over here

what a difficult question  . i like a good challenge and would say onions, to grow the biggest ones but.... it has to be......Spuds!

peas of any sort - you can't buy that sweet taste of eating young pease straight off the plant.

btw whats the fascination with runner beans? I dont think I have ever tried one

They're scrumptious! try a home grown one...........then you might understand what the attraction is

We should have a poll for top veg.

[sarah1983jane]

Every time I read on this site I want to get in my car and head to the allotment!

[SkipRat]

Dont even have to think about this one, If I could only grow one veg then it would be CALABRESE everytime...
