Grown this year (I'd hesitate to say successfully....)
- French bean
- Sweetcorn
- Radish
- Yellow onion
- Red onion
- Beetroot
- Broad beans
- Potatoes
- Sage
- Carrot
- Shallot
- Horseradish
- Red Orach
- Strawberries
I made it up there in a tiny stretch of civic twilight this week, just long enough to plant broad beans between the bee (or wasp) holes. I cleared a few weeds from the bed, but also left some - the chickweed is still in flower, late nectar for October insects.
The list above looks impressive, but for some things I only got one item; the singular bean and sweetcorn in the picture, for example. Others did quite well -- more radishes than one person could eat, onions aplenty, sweet and delicious.
The most consistent and reliable crop, however, remains the couch grass.
