What Vegetables are you Planning on Planting this Year?

[Evastar]

just dug my veg plot, fertilised it with ashes from the fire (been saving them all winter in a galvanised dustbin) and planted peas, onions, carrots, red onions, lettuce and strawberries.

i planted rhubarb as well, but it won't be ready until next year.

and i planted tomato seeds about a month ago indoors, the seedlings are coming along nicely, i repotted them today, won't put them outdoors until may though.

i have watermelon seeds there as well, but can't plant them for another few weeks, not warm enough yet.

what's everyone else growing?

well so far ive got onions and garlic sprouting in me garden, the spuds have gone in, but im holding off planting me carrots, parsnips, beetroot, peas, runner beans as theres still chance of frosts which will ~~~~ the seeds up because they arnt planted very deep, unless you cover them up with something at night, onions and garlic are frost resistant, and the spuds are planted deeper so they ok, av also got tommys and peppers growing in doors

spuds, strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus, radish, onions, leeks, toms, peppers, cucumber, peas, french beans, lettuce, squash, spinach and purple sprouting broccoli. weve also gained an apple tree a plum tree and a pear tree courtesy of my mum and dad moving house and not wanting them any more. thats it for now i think.

blueberries and raspberries i got a few fruit trees that should start producing this year and my rhubarb should be good this year too

after that i think some sugar snap peas they did well last year as did my beetroots

i think i will avoid broccoli and sprouts as they were a nightmare with cabbage whites and caterpillars

i lost my carrots to carrot fly too

[Evastar]

i had broccoli last year but got eaten by butterflies, my turnips didnt do very well either.

carrots were okay though because i planted onions beside them, is meant to stop the carrot fly from scenting them, so you might give that a go.

another tip i heard for carrots is to plant them in elevated pots as the carrot flies can only fly a couple of inches off ground level, not sure how true that is though.
