What's New for You in '22? - PyreneesPlot - 13-03-2022
I always like to try and grow something new for the kitchen each year, so this year it's orache (arroches in French) with a selection of half a dozen or so varieties.
I'll let you know how I get on, but meanwhile what's new to you this year?
RE: What's New for You in '22? - Proserpina - 13-03-2022
Lots of new varieties of things for me, but the things that are completely new:
Tomatillos
Watermelon (I doubt I will get anywhere, but thought I'd try since I have a greenhouse!)
Winter squash/pumpkins
Globe artichokes (I tried these several years ago but killed my seedlings)
Basil
Broad beans
Lima beans
Brussel sprouts
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Celeriac
Herb fennel
Kohlrabi
Marjoram
Cooking onions (I have grown walking onions before and had some rathe unsuccessful bunching onions)
Parsley
Parsnips
Swede
Calendula
Passion flower
Actually, a very long list of flowers and ornamental grasses, some of which I haven't even received yet as I just sent my order this week.

No new species but a few new tomato varieties and maybe a few new flowers from the seed swap.

That's a great list Pros - I adore tomatillos! They make fabulous salsas and curries and self seed like mad here. I haven't bought seed for a few years, just wait to collect some seedlings from where I grew them the previous year. Two plants produce far more fruit than MrPP and I can eat so loads gets given away and a lot is left to fall producing next year's plants.
I love globe artichokes too, although found the plants to be pretty random from seed - one of my violet de Provence is actually a two metre cardoon
although that might be down to the seed supplier!

Lots of new varieties of tomatoes, french beans and herbs but also some new things for me to try:
Pumpkins and winter squash - some acorn squash, a butternut squash, a Marina di Chioggia squash and mini pumpkins (Jack Be Little and Baby Boo).
Climbing french beans - I usually just grow dwarf French beans but I've liked the look of the bean arches I've seen on YouTube videos so I'm growing a few different varieties, some for fresh pods and some beautiful ones for drying.
Greek Gigantes bean- I think this is classed as a runner bean, but it's one that's grown for the bean not the pod. I found a bag of beans in a supermarket so I'm hoping they're viable. I might go ahead and soak a few soon just to check.
Peppers - I've grown bell peppers before from transplant, but this is my first year growing from seed. I have Cayenne hot peppers and Corno di Toro Italian sweet peppers.

I'm trying okra this year and that's a first for me.
Jerusalem artichokes - my mum used to grow them, but I have never grown them myself.
This year should be the first year I can get some perennial kale to try, hopefully!
Other new things:
Par Cel Celery
Cauliflower - never successfully grown a head of cauli!
