Victory Garden....

What's your favorite Home Grown Vegetable ???

I love Zuchinni, followed by Tomatoes.

Wish I could grow a decent ear of Corn !

Oh, and Onions hate me.

Potatoes, because you just can't fail to grow them. And all the basics that a victory garden needs: onions (tried them from seed rather than sets this year - and it worked!), carrots, leeks, spinach, kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage, parsnips, peas and beans, the whole range of salad vegetables, oh and nearly forgot - garlic. Haven't had huge success there yet but I usually get something garlicky and bulbous.

Need to get a greenhouse or a polytunnel to get the tomatoes going, and once that's there I'll be doing peppers, chillis, courgettes, and might have a go at aubergine (eggplant).

I'm hungry!

Favorites? Green onions (when they're still small), baby carrots and leeks.

Managed potatoes, tomatoes (beefstake and heirloom purple), peppers, rutabega, lettuce, cabbage, pumpkin. corn (although not spectacular), peas (regular, sugar snap and pods), bok choy, sui choy, beets, string beans, lima beans, radishes and herbs. Failures included watermelon (I knew it wouldn't grow, but just had to try), garlic (I can get every other allium to grow, but garlic just hates me) and strawberries.

Nothing is as good as vegetables fresh from your own garden!

I love the berries: raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and they are so easy that even I can manage it.

Top three veggies are absolutely cukes, tomatoes, and asparagus.

Tomatoes. Because it is impossible to get a good-tasting tomato at the grocery store. Home-grown tomatoes are just bursting with flavor, we grew some in our garden this summer which were so good I would just eat them by themselves with nothing else.
