To properly force one clump of rhubarb (this involves getting a bigger tub this year!)

To grow fly free carrots (have already bought the agrimesh)

Try blueberries (awaiting delivery) and raspberries for the first time.

Increase range of brassicas (cauliflower , red cabbage, maybe even kohlrabi? mmm maybe not. Swede anyway)

Grow parsley – lots of it.

Grow coriander for leaf – Now there’s a challenge!

Successfully grow the ‘wild” rocket seed I saved from last year.

To remember to label all pots and not to mix my bean plants up.

To really grow successionally.

Stop Florence fennel bolting – OK I’ve really got carried away

That’ll do.

To help keep me on track, I've started a blog to track my progress; http://willitgrowpdx.blogspot.com/ I'm afraid I'm starting with too many things I want to grow, and I'm also probably starting too early, but I've already popped a few lettuce and radish seeds seeds into the ground under a cloche. Hopefully I'm not setting myself up for disappointment. I have some fairly ambitious veg pledges for 2010 – I am starting my first real kitchen garden, and I have extremely high hopes.
