I would like to grow peas again this year, and fine/french beans. Might give the runner beans a miss this time around as they were super-prolific! I couldn't keep up. Hmm, maybe I could try them in a simple wigwam with just three plants rather than the full row I did last year... I mean, I like runner beans, but not that many! They did surprise me though - I'd never eat them raw from the supermarket, but like a lot of things grown fresh, they were nice eaten raw when they weren't too big :)I will not be bothering with broccoli or cauliflower again - too prone to bugs & netting is a pain in the butt! However, I will try chillies again as they did well, as well as sweetcorn I think - give it another try. BUT NO MORE TOMATOES, that is for certain! And definitely more flowers. It was so nice to pick a bunch for my table :)
I am planning on going to the allotment today after a bit of an absence. Hope things aren't too wild down there!
What are you doing at the lottie at the mo?

I wish I was doing something, maybe this week the weather would be nicer to work in.
I haven't grown onions before, but I'm going to give them a go this year. I'm also going to give the runner beans a miss I think, and just grow French beans. I've got lots of different varieties, climbing, dwarf, green, yellow and purple. I'm going to start my first batch of seeds off today.
Hope all went well at the plot. I seem to be growing similar things for similar reasons. Blight and caterpillars were so disappointing last year...
stuttgarter onions are great so I'll also be growing them this year. No sign of the sets I planted in the autumn yet though - I'm wondering if somethings munched them under the cover of the snow!
