I have a few plans:
Grow even fewer bush tomatoes. I still had too many this summer so I'm limiting them even more, probably just one each of Tumbling Tom Red and Yellow, a Golden Grape and a Ciliegia. The bulk of my tomatoes will be vine cherry or medium varieties as they produce best for me in the garden.
Grow more runner beans. I hadn't grown runners before for some reason, but I tried some this year and I loved them, even more than french beans. I'll still grow some french (a mix of green, yellow and purple again) but I'll give more space to runners. I'm planning on digging out a new rectangular bed in the lawn so I'll have easier access all around for picking.
Pollinate summer and winter squash. I had poor pollination on all my squash this summer with a disappointing harvest overall. I had noticed young fruit just dropping off so started hand pollinating but it was probably a bit late in the season.
Look after the sweet peas better. They didn't do as well this year, probably because it was so hot and I didn't water or feed them enough.
Find a spot to grow shallots and garlic.
