Whats easy to grow in the UK that is relatively pest or disease free?

something eats nearly everything, so we have to see what works in our area. I pre germinate broad beans so that they get a good start before the mice find them. I shall do the same with peas. Slug resistant potatoes are always a good crop. Runner and broad beans get blackfly, but I always get a good crop anyway. Cabbages get eaten by pigeons, so I have to net them or they would destroy the lot. Squirrels eat the sweet corn, so I am undecided as to whether to grow them this year or not. If you don't have a squirrel problem you might get away with sweet corn when the weather warms up.

Get a cat. Mice usually turn their noses up at cats.

I have a lot of mouse problems in my garden. I've given up on ever eating any strawberries, and last year they ate every scrap of my carrots and parsnips. But the one thing they never ever touch is onions, garlic, spring onion, anything onioney.

The trouble with cats is I doubt they'd survive my lurcher
