What are you going to grow "New to you" for 2015

Wow a lot of exotic stuff going on here
I'm going to try two varieties of pumpkin with no skin on their seeds, to produce edible pumpkin seeds -Lady Godiva with white seeds and the original German one with green seeds.
Also, though not completely new to me, I'm going to have a go with okra. I didn't realise how much heat it likes to start it off, so now I've got a greenhouse I'm going to have another go. I did manage to get a couple of pods when I grew it outdoors

 

Flowers:
Salvia - thanks to seeds given to me by @Jenny namaste. Now have 10 little seedlings just potted up. They're going to be underplanted with the roses in Tiffy's little memorial garden along with some Chinese forget-me-nots (if they germinate, nothing so far!)

Rosemary - again thanks to seeds given to me by a friend of my OH.

Been browsing the seed catalogues but really can't decide what else to have that I haven't already grown before. My garden is a bit of a hotch-potch of plants shoved here and there with no real structure or forward planning. Things that I like at the time, seeds bought on impulse or given to me which have grown into plants so I find space for them. Also annuals that have self seeded and perennials that were already established when we bought the house. Probably reflects my messy thought processes but has worked so far. Going by friends and neighbours' reactions they like the riotous mess of colour that shows up each year.

Veggies:
Cauliflower, peas, green beans and brussel sprouts. I'm new to growing veg. Last year I was successful with sweet corn, cucumbers, carrots, spring onions and early spuds. Main crop potatoes didn't do so well so I think I'll give them a miss this year. Might try some new tomato varieties. Last year's were very prolific but maybe not the best in a taste test.

 

That all sounds good Eve
For tomatoes I can thoroughly recommend 'Cornus des Andes'. They are a large pointed oval tomato found in the Andes by a Frenchman and brought back. They have lots of meaty flesh, only a few seeds and I love the flavour and find them very versatile.
Good luck with your growing
Oh, the tomatoes are sometimes seen as Andine Cornu.....

 

Thanks Philomel will have a look for them. Any suggestions re cherry toms?

 

I like Coeur de pigeon which is a little oval one.
I've found both in the local Point Vert as young plants

 

Back in January I decided to try a few vegetable varieties I hadn't grown before (see my post #35 on this thread). Thought I'd let you know my findings.

Cucumber 'Delistar'.
A medium sized greenhouse cucumber which proved quite productive. The fruits have a pale green skin rather than the normal dark green. The flesh has a good crisp texture and the flavour is quite pleasant, less bland than some other cucumber varieties. The only minus point was that they don't seem to 'keep' well in the fridge, tending to go a bit soft and mushy after a few days. Overall I'll be happy to grow these again next year.

Pepper 'Mavras'.
A purple coloured bell pepper which was a bit of a let down. Although the plants produced a good number of peppers, and were slightly earlier than my other varieties (Arianne and Beauty Bell), the flavour proved to be rather bitter, lacking the sweetness of other bell varieties. They actually start to turn purple while still quite small and immature, making it difficult to tell when they are ready for picking, and the purple colouring is only on the outside, the flesh inside remaining green.
As for eating; if eaten uncooked, the flesh is quite crisp and juicy despite the poor flavour, when cooked however they become quite mushy and quickly lose their purple colour, turning back to green.
Although they cropped quite well and early, the poor flavour means I won't be growing these again.

Courgette 'Buckingham'.
A yellow variety which has performed well. Grown outdoors, it produced a steady supply of fruits from mid July onwards and is still providing us with a couple or so each week even now. The texture and flavour is much the same as any other courgette, and the skin has a good deep yellow colour which helps to brighten up any dish.
I'll be happy to grow this again next year.

 

Two out of three is a good result Trunky.
