Grow minipop sweetcorn again (and more of them.). They are amazing in taste, harvest, ease of growing, and the slugs don't touch them!!!

What new things have you tried in this difficult year and will definitely repeat in 2013?

[allotmentann]

More sweetcorn, more broadbeans, more onions, more peas! Being the first year I wasn't sure how much to grow, how much I would eat or the likely yields. Hopefully next year things will be more thought out! With a lot more of the things I love and a lot less of the things that I don't really care for!

More of the usual suspects. Like to try the minipop sweetcorn, what do you sugest? Cape gooseberry as well. By the time I'm finished I'm sure I will find other stuff I fancy growing

After being fed up with supermarket toms being totally tasteless, this year I decided to grow about 9 varities of toms to see what I like best.  I have to say Sungold toms, by far the sweetest nicest toms I have tasted in years.  sadly I only got 1 plant of each in the end, but next year I will deffo be growing a load of them sungolds.  I grew minipop corn last year, but didn't manage to get some this year, so next year will be doing those again rather than full size corn.  And growing more raspberries, 10 canes has just not been even close to enough.

Cosse Violette climbing french beans.  They are very long (more bean for your flower) and stringless, even when they get bigger and they taste lovely.  
Also golden nugget squash as they are a bush type so don't take up much room, are just enough for two and aren't a sweet as a butternut so I prefer them.

Most things were new to me this year as I was my first year on the plot.  But next year will do parsnips, hispi cabbage, broad beans and drawf french beans again. I've had good crops of them all and they taste so much better than supermarket stuff.

[mattwragg94]

 peas, french beans, kale, beetroot, parsnips, hanging basket toms (hundreds and thousands - the variety, not the amount of plants), cabbages and the list goes on....

This year I grew four varieties of potato:
2nd early, Marfona, and Kestrel.  Last year Marfona were a decent crop with a little slug and wireworm damage. This year the slugs have had a field day with them. Kestrel in the same bed were not touched by either slugs or wireworm.

Maincrop: Sante and Ambo.
Both are new ones for me. Sante was riddled with slug holes while the Ambo had no damage whatsoever. Some of the Ambo are huge and it's going to be one potato per person for the winter. From just four 14" rows I have filled three potato sacks.

Looks like I will be growing Kestrel and Ambo next year.

Grow less runner beans, more Peas, get better at succession sowing Beetroot, carrots and salads, don't grow potatoes, more broad beans.

...dedicate a whole bed to sweetcorn, extend my growing season for strawberries, grow more blauhilde climbing beans, move my raspberries to a dedicated bed, successionally grow more mange tout and lettuce and only grow early potatoes. 

[Madame Cholet]

huauzontle not bothered by slugs, pigeons or flea beetle tastes good too.

 will be trying achocha fat baby thanks to newshoot

[Eblana]

Grow about 10 times as many peas.

More beetroot (just discovered that everyone in my family loves pickled beetroot).

Buy seeds in varieties that I want to grow instead of just growing what I get free with magazines.

Won't bother with leeks - they bolt and other than in soup we don't eat them.

Be more careful with succession planting so I don't end up with gluts and gaps.

Move to raised beds.

Build a Munty Frame - only found  the plans for this the other day and I can't wait to try it out.

[polly nator]

[DD.]

For a lot it will get going later, don't do it too early!
