New Year 08 – same old plot just different vegetables

Posted on 12. Jan, 2008 by Tracey in Grow Veg, My Veg Plot

Its the beginning of the new year so what better time to plan and buy vegetable seeds, fruit and potatoes that I will be sowing and growing in my 3 back garden plots in 2008.

Heres a quick run down of what I will mostly be sowing this year:-

Beetroot boltardy,
Broccoli tenderstem green,
Brussel Sprouts genus f1,
Cabbage resolution savoy (winter),
Cabbage tundra f1 (winter),
Cabbage golden acre (summer),
Calabrese ironman f1,
Carrot amsterdam forcing 3 (spring/summer),
Carrot james scarlet intermediate (summer),
Carrot autumn king 2 (autumn/winter),
Cucumber green fingers f1 (to be grown in mini greenhouse)
Dwarf Beans Ferrari (same variety as last year),
Dwarf Beans borlotto,
Lettuce balmoral,
Mange Tout dwarf sweet green,
Parsnip countess f1,
Pea Ambassador (powdery mildew resistant as had very bad problems with it last year),

Potato Lady Christi (to be grown in tubs/buckets),
Potato Charlotte (to be grown in tubs/buckets),
Potato Picasso (to be grown in tubs/buckets),
Radish French Breakfast (same as last year),

Spring Onion paris silverskin (same as last year),
Squash hawk f1,
Strawberries Flamenco (everbearers to be grown in pots),
Tomato golden sunrise (outdoor variety),
Tomato green zebra (outdoor variety).

All bought from Mr Fothergills again as I was very satisfied with the rates of germination, range of varieties and quick delivery last year.

Phew! lots of growing to contend with this year and as I received two cookery books for Christmas I’m going to learn how to cook and preserve my own produce as well.
