We had a good season this year. We had a lot of fun and we learnt a lot of new things! We ate from our garden plot right through the summer. Yum!
We grew a lot of herbs, vegetables and fruit: grapes, courgette, strawberries, beans, aubergines, cucumber, spring onion, beetroot, cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, lettuce, spinach, chilli, radish, carrot, mint, coriander, and basil.
...but what about okra? Although we grew a few plants, we were not as successful with the cropping this year as we would have liked. We started too late, and the white flies spoiled our crop. So, we need to try harder next year!
We have a lot of our seeds from the Victoriana nursery ready for next year: Aubergine Seed 'Black Beauty'; Bean Seed - Climbing French Bean 'Blue Lake'; Beetroot Seed 'Boltardy'; Broccoli Seed - Calabrese Long Season Cropping Blend; Carrot Seed 'Resistafly'; Cauliflower Seed 'Snowball'; Chilli Pepper Seed 'Bhut Jolokia' (CPI); Chilli Pepper Seed 'Joe's Long Cayenne'; Courgette Seed 'Zucchini'; Cucumber Seed 'La Diva'; Lettuce Seed 'Hendersons Black Seeded Simpson; Okra Seed 'Mammoth'; Onion Seed - Salad Onion 'White Lisbon' (Spring Onion); Radish Seed Spring, Summer & Autumn Blend; Spinach Seed - Little Grandad's Original; Tomato Seed 'Abraham Lincoln'; Tomato Seed 'Matt's Wild Cherry'.
We have quite a challenge raising these from seed! We'll have to plan carefully and work hard.
