What interesting things do you plan to grow next year?

PP have you seen the new aristotle basil? It looks really cute! Almost like a topiary tree!

Something else I might do is grafted tomatoes - have you seen them? My uncle did them this year and although were slightly more expensive to buy as plants I have never seen anything like them - right now they are GIGANTIC and just laden with fruit....he's really pleased with them and having tasted them won't bother with any others next year.

Grafted toms and other veg are being trialed on the Beechgrove Garden, available on the BBC iplayer.

We have decided to grow more varities of the same plants instead of just one type. Didn't have time to think of that this year as we had a second allotment to get ready. One thing I must do is stop planting so many lettuces and caulies at the same time. We are eating salads every day whilst making batches of cauli and courgette cheese bakes for freezer. At least we are using up courgettes. I tried baking veggies today, courgettes, red onion, garlic, peppers, yum yum.

I'll be attempting to grow my own seed of cucumber 'Tamra.' While Real Seeds had it this year, they don't expect to offer it again, so it may be over to gardeners to keep this shy-seeding variety going. Results this year suggest that's worth doing.

I've got the Lemon Drop chillis growing now, but they are slow compared with regular varieties. I've already had some American chillies picked while still yellow, though they'll probably improve as they turn red.

They are grown from seed at about the same time as tomatoes. the flowers are lovely too. They grow really wide and fruit until first frosts.

They are easy to save seed from as well, just get a very mature fruit and scoop the seeds out.
Remember you need to grow at least two plants for pollination, or you won't get any fruit at all.
