What are you planning to grow 2016.

[jansman]

I'm going for traditional historical Scottish. Tatties, leeks and turnips plus some lettuce.

I reckon that is the best way. Find what works in your area/ soil and go for it. I have tried everything in my garden over the last 25 years. The land I had at the top end a couple of years ago I could grow cracking root crops. So much so, I was selling them on. My garden though they are a waste of time.

I shall probably grow what I grew last year:

Older
Fatter
Greyer
Stiffer
More irritable

I'm also going to try Sweet Potatoes and Ginger in the polytunnel.

I am now at the stage with the plot where I have grown different varieties and those listed are the ones that do well on the allotment and have the flavour and keeping/ preserving characteristics we want.
All I have to do now is wait for spring......never was very patient.

What's your list like and how do you choose what to grow?

Tried these for the first time last year, wow, lovely

Stasher, how are you doing the 'multi quote' ? I've tried to figure it out in the past, in my defence I'm not the sharpest tool in the box. Any steerage would be appreciated.
