Just been watching a Huw Richards Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD0EG1djPms&t=15s about planning your garden.
Now planning and I don't exactly come together very often but one thing he said made me think.
Plan your garden around the 10 or so veggies that are "Must Grows" and give them the most space. Can't remember the %. Then give a smaller % to the veg that you're not so keen on.
Anyway, I started listing my 10/12 Must Grows and where I could grow them best.
GH = Tomatoes, Cucumber, Lettuce/salad leaves
Outdoor = Courgette, CFB, Mangetout, Broad beans, Carrots, Leek, Potatoes, Kale, Beetroot
My 2nd choices are Onion, Squash, cabbage/broccoli/brussels sprouts/cauli, Peas
My 3rd choices are Turnip, swede, Celery, Fennel, Radish, Kohl Rabi and the experimentals like Quinoa, Amaranth.
Interestingly, My 1st choice veg are also the ones that I find easiest to grow (apart from potatoes!)
My 2nd Choice are usually failures, even the onions from sets end up small
3rd choice, apart from radish, never turn out the way they should.
