This year’s new (to me) things to grow:

A melon that’s a cucumber (Carosello)
A cucumber tasting of melon (Tortarello)
Heirloom beans (Madeira Maroon, Bonne Bouche, Greasy, Yin Yang, Jacob’s cattle)
Heirloom melon (Cantalun)
A samphire-like from Japan (Okahijiki)
Vegetable spaghetti
Chinese celery (kintsai)
Chinese kale (kailaan)
Chopsuey greens (shungiku)
Garlic bulbs/bulbils with chive like leaves (Rocambole)

Will you be growing anything that’s new to you?

Great question! This year I will be growing some Celeriac that actuall develops a proper bulb. That will be new to me.

They need regular watering and leaf removal helps bulb growth but I have a love/hate relationship with celeriac too. 🙃

Any celeriac growing tips gratefully accepted.

yes David told me last year to scarify them and I did… but maybe not enough? And water in our veg garden can be a bit hot and miss it’s true. We didn’t get lots of rain last summer so I rely on good mulch mostly but I suspect that’s not enough… will@keep trying though. Have a similar issue with Florence fennel 😀

OK - and thank you! That may be trickier to achieve than my work-travel regime allows but I will see what I can do. It's so frustrating to grow really healthy plants - with no bulb! Two years in a row now.

I've just planted some seeds to have a go at growing Darjeeling tea, and have some flax seeds for later on

Do you try new varieties every year? I'm moving everything I can to heritage varieties for a bit of future-proofing

Oooh - there you go! I'd like to grow tea! Hate the stuff myself, but the missus loves it. No idea if it's possible in my climate - but I'd like to try!

@Broadfork. New things for our 2025 gardening season include wild rocket (Sylvetta Arugula), rocket (Arugala Arugala), nasturtium, Ethiopian Eggplant (Solanum Aethiopicum). We are hoping the rocket self sows enthusiastically. #gardening, #allotment, #minnesota.

If your rocket is like mine, as long as you let some go to seed, you'll never need to plant it again. It's a lovely edible flower and seed pod too of course.

@Broadfork. We hope so. The rocket greens season starts early and ends late in the shared reality of the Mastodon gardening universe. #growyourown.

I threw some rocket seed into a big potato sach which I'd had a tomato plant, in at the back end of the season - and it's not cropping nicely! There aren't so many edibles for me, which are as satisfyingly reliable as that.

As I live in #Jersey, seems like I should! I had forgotten about this lot... I'll give it a go.
