New seeds/plants for 2024 - JJB - 15-03-2024

What are your experiments or new seed varieties planned for 2024. I'm going to have a think and come back with my list. I've a load of new varieties of beans and courgettes and a fair few tomatoes.

I'm going to experiment with edible oddities! Some of the seeds are very old so I won't be holding my breath or buying new seed.
Amaranth/callaloo
Quinoa
Flax
Fenugreek/methi
Lentil
Sesame
Dudi
Luffa
Orach
Tree spinach

RE: New seeds/plants for 2024 - Small chilli - 15-03-2024

4 new varieties of tomato (if they all germinate)
2 new chillies
2 new sweet peppers
1 new aubergine

There will be a lot more to add ( hopefully ) once my tunnel is up .

Nothing unusual in my garden but some new varieties to me,  many from the seed deals last year:

COURGETTES

CUCUMBER  Burpless Tasty Green F1

BROCCOLI Matsuri & Brokali Apollo (but having read TMTT comments on Apollo in 2020 I'm beginning to have my doubts about this one)

CARROT

It looks like I will be overrun with tomatoes, courgettes and beans again this year - no change there then. Happy days.

Even with all these seeds I've just noticed how Honeymoon tomato says it tastes nice. I'm resisting temptation to buy even yet more tomato seeds. Maybe a note for next year.

RE: New seeds/plants for 2024 - Garrett - 15-03-2024

Tomatoes:
Gobstopper - yellow/green cherry
Mango Lassi - red cherry
Ron's Carbon Copy - black cherry
Santiam Sunrise - orange cherry

Sweet pepper:
Redskin F1 - red bell pepper

Chilli pepper:
Sugar Rush Stripey - peach striped with red

Beans (climbing):
Golden Gate - yellow pod
Italian Snap - mottled pod, striped dry bean
Madeira Maroon - speckled dry bean
Tarbais - white dry bean
Coco Bicolour - half cream/half speckled bean
Deb's Creek - half cream/half speckled bean

Squaw - cream/brown speckled soldier bean
Bobis D'Albenga - purple/green mottled pod

Recently I've attempted to stick with tried and tested old favourites, but I can't resist indulging with new tomatoes and beans.

RE: New seeds/plants for 2024 - Veggie - 15-03-2024

New to me and already sown:-

Tomato - Veranda Red (not JJB's seeds as they keeled over and died!)
Aubergine - Kermit, Miranda, Pinstripe, Black Beauty
Peppers - Midas, Aji Delight, Lunchbox Mix
Courgette - Early Gem.

I've no idea what else I'll be sowing.

Is that the same as Pink Honeymoon, the beefsteak? If so, I've grown it 2 years in a row and it is really nice. Very blight resistant, too. This year it'll be in the greenhouse instead of outdoors.

I don't know if it's the same as Pink Honeymoon. I could only see Pink Honeymoon from Pennard IIRC whereas Honeymoon, still lauded as a distinctive taste, is available more readily. I can feel me weakening but it might be a bit late to sow beefs..
