Fennel
Garlic
Haricot dwarf green & yellow and climbing
Pea bean
Lettuce (6 vars)
Leeks
Kale
Mustard Greens
Onions (Florence)
Parsnips
Melons
Peas
Peppers (3 vars)
Chillies loads!
Turnips (2 Var)
Radish mix of several vars
Radicchio
Tomatoes
Tomatillos

And I'm toying with growing spuds again now that the slugs are under control, but there are still the voles

Gardenfocused lists these as slug resistant:

Charlotte, Estima, Golden Wonder, Kestrel, Romano, Sante and Wilja.

I've personally grown both Charlotte and Kestrel both 2nd earlies and they are both great, not grown the others.

Sadly no list on there for vole resistant.

Hi Proserpina

How are you?

Gardenfocused lists these as slug resistant:

Charlotte, Estima, Golden Wonder, Kestrel, Romano, Sante and Wilja.

I've personally grown both Charlotte and Kestrel both 2nd earlies and they are both great, not grown the others.

Sadly no list on there for vole resistant.

I can vouch for the Kestrel being slug resistant and most earlies are slug resistant to a certain extent because they are in the soil for such a short time.

As I've said in other posts I consider this the first "proper" year on the plot so the list is probably a tad adventurous!
Probably more bits to add later...

Thanks Veggie

I hope to have all four raised beds up and running this spring, plus lots more container growing on my patio and in the new conservatory

Favourite vegetables that I've grown before:

• CFBs
  
• Broad beans
  
• Peas (regular, mangetout, sugar snap)
  
• Spinach
  
• Kale
  
• Lettuce
  
• Cherry tomatoes (several varieties)
  
• Beetroot (red, striped, golden)
  
• Garlic
  
• Spring onions
  
• Winter squash
  

New to me:

• Malabar spinach - a heat-loving climber which I'm very excited to try
  
• More leafy greens - kailaan, broccoli raab, collard greens, chopsuey greens
  
• Celeriac
  
• Summer squash (patty pan, crookneck)
  

Fingers crossed as I haven't had much luck in the past:

• Sweet peppers
  
• Chillies
  
• Aubergines
  
• Pak choi
  
• Leeks (a bit tricky in our dry climate)
  
• Courgettes (I'm the only person on the planet who's never had a courgette glut!!)
  

Fruit:

• Blueberries
  
• Strawberries
  
• Rhubarb (not much, if any, of that as it's a new crown)
  

On the ornamental front, I have new perennials that I'm excited to see flower:

• Roses Alba Maxima (white) and Gabriel Oak (cerise)
  
• Honeysuckle "Rhubarb & Custard"
  
• Clematis "Nelly Moser"
  

and a selection of rather dramatic tulips (Black Parrot, etc). Not forgetting the usual annuals such as old-fashioned sweet peas!

There's more, of course, but those are the highlights!

I like to be self sufficient in:
peas, potatoes, onions, garlic, drying beans, tomatoes, leeks, pumpkins and squash, chillies, broadbeans (drying)
raspberries, blackcurrants and redcurrants

and grow lots in season of:
parsnips, carrots, courgettes, cauli, sweet peppers, french beans, aubergines, sweetcorn, lettuce, beetroot, cucumber
apples (hopefully August to March) pears, plums

some:
cabbage, broccoli, brussels,

want but often fail:
strawberries and melons.
Too many pest like strawberries: birds, squirrels, mice, slugs... I saw 4 squirrels having a look around at the weekend.
melons can be growing strongly then just up and pop their clogs.
though with the state of the ground at the present not sure what I'll be able to grow, might have to rethink
growing rice.
