I
have already started some things off; in the autumn I planted some onion sets
and they seem to be doing pretty well
I
also started off some peas and have so far managed to keep them pretty happy in
the potting shed
Again
I am trying with broad beans, which are now planted out and fleeced to keep out
the cold, and hopefully the dreaded blackfly which seem to be present all year
round
I’m
planning on trying a host of new produce this year:
Whilst
I love french beans I’m not really a fan of runners, so this year they will be
one of my “if I grow it I might like it” experiments; I will be trying hunter
and jiminez.
I
can’t seem to watch a cooking show, either professional chefs or amateurs
without celeriac popping up somewhere, so I’ll be trying monarch this year.
I’m
going big on winter veg, so as well as re-introducing leeks which I really
missed last year and regret not growing any, I will be attempting two new
varieties of squash; festival and sweet dumpling.
I’ll
also be introducing a couple of heritage tomatoes, green zebra and cream
sausage, just the names of them make me chuckle.
The
most challenging new addition will be mushrooms, chestnut button portobello and
white button; although, according to the write-up they are the easiest things
to grow, so we’ll see.
So
much to look forward to, I really can’t wait to get going.
