what seeds, plants, bulbs have people ordered for this year? Anything new
for you? Any new plants you haven't tried before.
For those of you for whom the weather is calm and pleasant - no gloating
please!

Rough as rats here in Plymouth but I did manage to sow some more broad beans
and prune the gooseberries on Sunday. I am trying a few different seeds this
year, one of which is cardoon (Gigante Di Romangna). This is really for
novelty value but any tips on culture or use of the plant will be
appreciated.

Well the weather here is obviously not as bad as your's but still not
pleasant enough to venture out to do some digging, not that I'm able to at
the moment, when I do start it will all be vegetables, have no interest in
flowers at all.
I would not have thought of planting broad beans yet, but I usually get the
times wrong anyway!(:-)
I'll be growing the usual rubbish, potatoes, runner beans, strawberries and
raspberries, tomatoes, sweet corn, leeks and a number of other things which
I cannot bring to mind at the moment.
All I can hope for is that the senile decay does not get any worse, it's
quite annoying to get up from the chair and wonder what the hell you have
stood up for!(:-)

Rubbish? Now you are being too modest, Alan.

Oh dear, I think we're all familiar with that one! We'll grow tomatoes but
I don't think we're likely to grow much more than that. Not only is it a
question of space, it's also time. Once things get really busy customer
wise everything else goes by the board.
