Last year was my first serious attempt at gardening.
It wasn't entirely successful - partly because of the learning curve, partly because of the chaos and lack of access caused by my building work - but I'm hoping to do better this time.
However, I'm not going to have time or space to try everything. So some decisions need to be made - basically, do I revisit the things that worked really well last year, try to improve on some of the failures, or do something completely different...?
Some things are pretty definite, though:
- I'm growing runner beans again, 'cos they were lovely. Ditto for courgettes and/or marrows.
- I'm going to try growing peas and potatoes, which I didn't have room for last year
- The perennials - rhubarb, globe artichokes and jerusalem artichokes - will keep their places, assuming they survive the winter.
- I'm going to try turnips again. They didn't go well this year, but I think the problem was poor maintenance rather than soil.
