Basil | Excellent crop when grown in pots in conservatory. 3/4 pots are plenty. |
Beetroot | Some edible golfballs. Not sure if it's worthwhile though. The leaves were good though. |
Broad beans | Small crop. Mild winter meant leggy, weak plants. |
Carrots | Excellent. Flakee gigante did well in a pot. Others OK too. |
Chard | Really poor crop this year. |
Cosmos | Good plants, though flowered in November! Old seed apparently. |
Courgette | See above. Variable. |
Cucumber | One plant in greenhouse. Not much good. |
Foxgloves | Brilliant! Plant more! |
French beans | A few nice pods but not a good crop. Dwarf beans poor too. |
Garlic, elephant | Good growth. Four plants but only made "rounds". Kept to replant for next year. |
Hesperis | Not as good as foxgloves, but OK. |
Hollyhocks | Lovely! Seed taken to grow some more. The plants may survive to flower again. |
Leaf beet | Like the chard - just didn't go this year. |
Leeks | Another good year. In pots this time. Still using in February. Mini leeks in plot still to come. |
Marigolds | Self seeded in Apple Garden. Another good display. |
Nigella | One pot did well, but don't last long. Another pot failed completely. |
Pak choy | Give good plants but not sure if there's enough to eat. |
Parsley | Excellent. Grow in garden and in pots. |
Peppers | OK in conservatory, but I'm not sure they are worth the trouble. |
Potatoes | A fairly good year. But they are a lot of fuss for a small reward when grown in pots. |
Squashes | See above. Not a success. |
Tomatoes | Not much of a crop from the Italians. Gardeners delight is the only real cropper. |
