This is my first stab at what I will be growing this year:
Garlic: Marco (balcony + to go out on plot)

Roots: Parsnips, Celeriac Giant Prague and Monarch, Beetroots – Boltardy for pickling, Sanguina, Chioggia, Touchstone Gold, Cardeal – we like beetroot!
Carrots: chanteney red cored, rainbow mix
Courgettes: Lebanese Otto, Yellow, Eight Ball or Tricolour, Green Bush, trailing marrow
Cucumbers: Marketmore 76, Crystal Apple, White
Herby things: Rosemary, parsley, thyme, lavender, sorrel, fennel, dill

This does seem an awful lot given the space I have ready, or will have ready when they need to go in the ground – I might have to cull it a little!
