2021 plan - Small chilli - 28-01-2021
So what’s everyone’s gardening plan for this year?
What’s on your grow list? Anything new ?
Doing anything different?
This year my plan is to only have 2 raised beds in action & 2 tunnels (1 of them not full).
I’m growing
Runner beans
Dwarf french bean
Scarlets mystery climbing bean mix
Kale
Red cabbage
Broccoli
Courgette
Tromboncino
Vegetable spaghetti
4 tomatoes
30 Chillies ( varieties, not plants )
4 sweet pepper
Aubergine Kermit
Cucumber
Lettuce
Salad mixes
Plus my perennials ( asparagus, rhubarb, fruit & herbs )
A couple of tomatoes, sweet peppers, chillies & Kermit are new to me this year.
I’m hoping to store a lot more this year, freeze or dried.

A plan for 2021????
Today's version of my plan is:-
Make the GHs work harder - grow crops in 4, not just 2/3.
Grow tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, DFB, CFB, RBs and peas.
Trombones and butternut squash.
Leeks and onion sets
Beetroot
Carrots
Play with kales.
Ask me again next week.
RE: 2021 plan - Scarlet - 28-01-2021
Hmm, I've been looking through my seeds...
I've pulled out several chillie seeds and they are on the side staring at me...should I shouldn't I?
Marlene Rocoto - germinated
I've already put some kale in - I don't think I'll do chard this year.
Just kale - Nero
Tomatoes - probably about 6-10 varieties..I keep adding some. Garden Pearl and a few of VCs rambling redstripe are already up.
Cucumber
Courgette
Radish
Lots of lettuce
Several beans - one early dwarf- the rest climbing
Tree spinach
Beetroot - hopefully lots!
Giant garlic is in.
Flowers

Salvia Superba - Rose Queen
Verbena Hastata - pink Hastata ( all xmas present seeds! So a few similar to TMTT seeds but I'm sowing everything)

RE: 2021 plan - Vinny - 29-01-2021
A change to mine already and it hasn't even been a day.
Seed tatties were 3 packs for a fiver in B&M so I now have Charlotte (which I had,) but Desiree and Maris peer to go with them instead of Elfe and Kestrel.

RE: 2021 plan - doublyjonah - 29-01-2021
It sounds like an absolute bounty but I am still working on getting some of these things to work for me.......also lots of these will be only a couple of plants.
From sets
Onions: Snowball, Stuttgarter, Red Baron (I think...ordered by a friend so I have to double check what we ended up with)
Garlic: Germidour, Messidrome, White giant (I think...same friend!)
Elephant garlic
Maris piper and Charlotte perhaps
From seed - most sown at home and transferred to the plot
Onions: Ailsa Craig
Leek: Lyon 2
PSB
Dwarf curly kale
Red cabbage
Purple topped turnips
Boltardy beetroot
Wanted to buy chard seeds but must control myself...
CFB: Tiger, Kew blue, Scarlet's magical mystery mix
Runners: Mrs Connell's black, Tenderstar
DFB: Vermont Cranberry and Tendergreen
Broad beans: autumn and spring sown Grano Violetto
Peas/mangetout: Oregon sugar pod, Bijou, White crown flowered peas, Calibra
Radish
Mustard and mixed greens
Carrots: Little finger and Royal Chantenay
Parsnip: what's left of the packet my plot neighbor gave me last year. Hoping they won't make quite the same monsters this year. I know germination probably won't be great, so option open to reorder in spring
Squash mixed pack of seeds: whatever is left
Pumpkins: Charmant and Big Max (I love growing pumpkins and want some more, but I am pretty convinced this is impractical!)
Courgette (Really want a trombocino but no room! right?!?!)
Sweetcorn
From seed for the GH
Chillies: Razzamatazz, Beaver Dam, Lemon Drop and probably a few more. Eek. I'm useless at growing chillies. Also have a badly overwintering plant from my garlic friend.....
Peppers: Mini red bell
Watermelon: Sugar babe
Second edit - Some tomatoes of course! TBD
Flowers from seed
Nasturtium
Eryngium
Deliphinium
Larkspur (autumn and spring sown)
Scabious: White, blue, black?!
Lupin (autumn sown)
Marigolds
Calendula
Orlaya
Inevitably some more!
Flowers from bulbs etc
Gladiola
Dahlia
Ranunculus
Daffodils
Hyacinths
Fruit - all already in the ground/established in pots
Blueberries
Blackberries
Blackcurrant
Boysenberries
Red and white currant
Strawberries
Raspberries
Rhubarb - Timperley early and Raspberry red (or something like that!)
Forgot the fruit trees from a couple years back...apple (have had a few in the last couple years), pear (none yet), apricot (not a chance), plum (not yet), and cherries (birds enjoyed the couple that formed)
Third edit! Forgot all about herbs.....basil, mint, chives, parsley, sage, coriander...oh dear.
I'm not secretly living on Monty Don's plot. Where will all of these (and the others I've surely forgotten) go?
RE: 2021 plan - mcdood - 29-01-2021
Spuds have arrived:
Swift
Pentland Javelin
Charlotte
Setanta (I've not grown these ones before)
Also waiting on some Desiree, my mother in law's favourite. Aiming to make a start with some seed sowing beginning of Feb too. (Toms, chillies and onions)

I didn't think a few days would make much difference. I feel so much better. 2 full propagators, a windowsill and two chairs with pots on in the window.
