Not many of mine are practical. Maybe hollyhocks or more penstemon.

After having a look back, several of mine are actually final goals. But I think it’ll have to be many many sunflowers next year.

I didn't fantasise on what I would like (perhaps a cabbage that was immune to greenfly etc.) but I think I'll try growing flax this year. Not sure what I would do with it, bird probably would eat any seeds.

Not many of mine are doable due to lack of space.

This is my Wishful/possible list
Courgettes
Daubenton Kale (I'll try sowing some of my very old seeds)
Pansies
Japanese Quince (if I can find a bush somewhere that I can take a cutting from)
Sunflowers
Creeping thyme (think I have some seeds somewhere - but won't be enough for a path - maybe a pot).
Wallflowers
Zinnias.
