Hi Beau - good to see you looking for apple blossom-like snapdragons to fill a particular gap.
Fidget - i grew the droopy love-lies-bleeding sort last year and they were stunning, so I'll give them another go. But I was also going to try an upright one. What sort is hypochondria (agree with your SiL, you couldn't make it up), and does it have red tassles?s
Edit - just googled the hypochondiac - wow, thats the one I'm going to try
Will be growing some new varieties of chilli, tomato and courgette.
Limnanthes douglassi poached egg plant for the first time together with marigolds to attract good insects like hoverflies to help deal with the aphids.
New varieties for me are, toms(yellow perfection) and chilli (cyklon). I've also got dwarf brussel sprouts and dwarf broad beans. Two early sown pea varieties, which can be started in Feb/March.
Herbs, which I never got round to sowing last year, are lemon grass, chamomile and red veined sorrel
Wow Lyn, thought I had a lot lol. Will need some amount of space for that little bunch .
I will be trying my hand at French lavender this year plus some Atlantic Giant pumpkins, also some tiny Orange beetroot which are yellow inside, bolder I think there called. Also Pak Coi and lemon cucumbers and some Cucamelons. Been told there an acquired taste but will give them a bash.

And maybe a cardoon
A. hypoc is upright. I will set some seed. If we do an early Chatsworth trip you can have some plants.
