What are you gonna grow different next season?

Hiya,

Can I join in

I notice a few people said courgettes, we have just finished ours from the year before last. :eek: So we shall grow those again next year.

I'm going to try brussells sprouts again, complete failure this year, I think I know where I went wrong though, didn't keep them well firmed in and they rocked over in the wind. Most of them blown and infected with goodness knows what!!!

Pea and Bean weevil on the broad beans, but going to try the winter ones, sown now, whilst its still warm, hopefully that way the mice won't have the seeds.

Will do onions and garlic again and the catch crops.

We have at least two years worth of runner beans, I'm sure!!! - I could do a competition.:rotfl:

Primrose

Will definitely grow fewer courgette plants. Two is quite enough for a household of two. Will only grow two mini cucumber plants instead of four . We've been overwhelmed with them. The problem is I sow additional seeds in case some don't germinate and then can't bear to throw them away.
I'll also grow fewer runner beans and more Cobra climbing French beans as the latter as self fertile and still seem to set in difficult weather conditions when there arn't many bees about.

I'm going to learn how to take better care of my Sweetcorn next year - they were fab plants , 6 foot tall and lots of cobs but they ended up with blackfly and most failed to reach full ripeness.
Definately growing more Blue Lake beans next year, so easy and bountiful.
Tumbling toms were disappointing with tough skins. My best tom results this year have been Kumato which I grew from seed out of a supermarket purchased fruit.

Going to have a go at Aubergines in the green house.

Fewer chilies (even though we love them we have millions left now)

Better tomato varieties. I used come free costalucio (sp?) this year and not over keen on them as it's really hard to peel them to use in cooking when you have a glut!

Different bean varieties.

Another here for growing spaghetti squash next year - I have a wheat intolerance so I want to try this as a substitute.

Having a go at over wintering broad beans and peas

Will grow the Gartenperle cherry toms, they were very fruitfull.

More corriander.

Enjoyed the potatoes but spent a fortune in compost for the potato sacks so not sure how to play this next year.

Plant more onion sets, we loved the ones I grew this year but I didn't do enough - ditto with leeks.

Have a go at carrots in tubs, seem to have carrot fly here even when companion planting with onions etc. Bought some parmex also to have a go at

I got some Lakeland vouchers from my work friends for my birthday in August and have bought a maslin pan today so I plan to grow/use more fruit for preserving.
