Hi Folks,
Being an avid vegetable gardener, I have planned my gardening for the next three years (give or take) to take into account the different types of plants I want to try and bearing proper crop rotation in mind.
Listed below are the plants that I will be growing during the course of this and the next two years (all organic and selected for the damper climate we get here).
I don't know how many of you enjoy growing your own food, but if you do, don't let a small garden deter you - I am making use of my backyard, the neighbour's backyard, a friends place, and whatever unused patches I can find at work.
In the UK you are blessed with allotments - make use of them!
If anyone is interested in trying out some of the veggies, herbs or fruits listed here, please send me a PM as I mostly have more than enough seed to share (Cubbie, your chillies are almost ready to post).
The list:
Roots, Tubers and Rhizomes:
Japanese Burdock
Salsify
Scorzonera
Parsnip
Skirret
