The Vegetable Beginning

I've been growing my own veg (on a small scale) for a year now but this year I have access to an allotment! I also have a small, plastic greenhouse in my (tiny) garden. So far I have growing -

On windowsills...

• Tomatoes (Cherry, Beefsteak and Matinas)
• Cucumbers (5 dwarf variety)
• Courgette (9 plants)
• Aubergine
• Sweetcorn (15 plants)
• Pumpkin (planted by the children for Halloween)
• Chillis (both Jalepeno and Cayenne)
• Salad
• Herbs (basil, chives, corainder, lemon balm)
• Marigolds (for companion planting)

In the Greenhouse

• Brussel Sprouts
• Cauliflower
• Cabbage (red and greyhound)
• Globe Artichoke
• salad
• Sugar Snaps, Peas and Dwarf French Beans
• Leeks

At the Allotment

• Potatoes (Red Duke of York, Maris Peer)
• Broad Beans
• Sugar Snaps, Peas
• shallots, red onions
• beetroot (1 row), parsnip (1 row)

And after all that I still have more to plant -

• Purple Sprouting Broccoli
• More Lettuce, Rocket and Pak Choi
• Sunflowers (the children are going to plant)
• Potatoes (Rooster and Maris Piper)
• More Peas and Beans (to get a continous supply?)
• Nasturtiums (for garden and companion planting)
• Allotment - Carrots, Parsnip, Beetroot, Onions

I know this sounds a lot and is probably way too much but I really want to grow as much of our food as possible this year plus we are also sharing our harvest with my parents so this crops is for 4 adults and 2 children. It's probably still way too much! but this year is very much an experiment.
