A valid point veggie.

I suppose you have to work out roughly how many of each plant you need to grow to give you your annual supply of that veg.

I have just found out that two blackcurrant bushes and two gooseberry bushes gives me more than enough fruit for a year. 

Last year I was self sufficient in onions and carrots. This year my onion crop from sets was not as good as last years but luckily I have two lots grown from seed. I have enough parsnips for a year and enough of the cabbage family,kales,brussels,cauli's , broccoli and calabrese. This year I have even added winter spinach. I have potatoes for about half the year and should be self sufficient in beans this year.
I have four courgette plants which are too many for my needs but my Daughter will reep the benefits.

All in all, I will need to buy some tatties and swedes and  possibly grow more calabrese.

This year part of my gooseberry glut is going to become the base for my chilli glut. Chilli gooseberry jam anyone? Big Grin
