This year we're growing runner beans Wisley Magic and Buerre de Roquencourt french beans, assorted tomatoes, courgettes, chillies, Swiss Chard, beetroot, garlic lettuce, autumn raspberries, gooseberries, figs, rhubarb and lots of herbs which we use almost as vegetables ......... and probably some other bits and pieces if I can fit them in.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I forgot about my blueberry bush and also basil and coriander from seed along with my herbs that were already planted.
A lot of this years seeds I had acquired 'free' so was using them up. For next year I am going to do more research into different varieties, but if I am successful with my tomatoes this year I know I definitely want to grow Tigerellas next year
I know Scroggin, it's going to be fun, I'm thinking maybe I should have got a bigger GH but daren't tell OH now I think I may only put one or two in the GH. My post above should have said outdoor variety next to the cucumber not courgette as I think courgettes are outdoor anyway??
I really hope I get lots of vegetable off these plants and it's worth it
I wish other people here liked courgettes - then I could grow them, but there's no point just for little old me . I like them fried in butter with a couple of chopped tomatoes and seasoned with black pepper.
Wow so impressive, I wish I had you all for neighbours, might have someone to chat to over the fence nearly all my neighbours only venture out at night and have gardeners to mow the lawn and trim low maintenance shrubs .
With some luck and if the following wind stays died down I have green & yellow courgettes and pattipan squash. loads of lettuce and leaves in many varietes. A large bed of leeks as OH loves them. loads of radish including a large purple variety. rainbow, nantes and dragon (purple) carrot. parsnips yellow and red beetroot chard, spinach white and purple spring onions. caulis savoy, red white, and spring cabbage. broad beans runner beans purple beans and peas (peas will do rubbish always do) early and late sprouting broccoli and calabrese and onions,
Got cayenne, mixed hot and jacobs coat chillis some jacobs coat are last years plants but done some new ones as i love them. Purple ox horn peppers and mixed colour bell peppers.
In my bed room i have 12 each banana legs toms red and yellow tumbling toms, black purple and white cordon cherry toms and about 40 ccurrent toms and a 2 dozen each marmande and san marzano. Will give away some of these and sell some.
In living room have a dozen cucumbers some large green forget variety white and green pickling cues and my favorite crystal lemon cues.and some lizzano bush toms.
Got trays of basil purple, normal greek and lime, as well as parsley flat and curly Corriander dill and a few other herbs, just moved these under cloches in the garden trying to reclaim dining room.
Also got two lots of spuds Charlotte and rocket.
Sweetcorn 24 for 2.50 at local fete.
Think thats it but sure i have forgotten several something's.
After typing this i feel so much better thought i hadnt done much this year.
Last year i had loads of stripes and yellows this year i think the colour must be purple. Not deliberate just get what i fancy and that is often a veg i like in a strange shape or colour.
forgot Aubergines in bedroom will pot these on but they may well stay in bedroom depending on the summer. oh and butternuts at my mums.
I'm impressed with what everyone's growing, what a good thread, little of a lot is my thinking then if something doesn't grow well the disapointment is over shadowed by the successes.
Nin - wow, how big is your house, I've been limited this year starting stuff off indoors as friends came to stay over Easter, usually the back bedroom is full of seedlings, it's been a real juggling act, sowing later in the GH. I've had to really cut down on the number of plants for the GH.
The allotment has been a priority this year, it's so different in terms of the number of different veggies and amounts you can grow, than growing in a limited space in the back garden although I've loved growing stuff in bags, pots and in the back garden beds...
Nin are your neighbours vampires? I have visions of you using a machete in your bedroom to get to your wardrobe Such a wonderful variety, keep us posted on how they do.

We love courgettes, roasted, in ratatouille, all ways really and I'm going to make some pickle/chutney too
Courgette and chilli fritters sound nice
