My wife will do potatoes (like desiree and might try maris piper this

she does the digging and likes doing it.
and we will probably do tomatoes in the greenhouse (sungold plus one

My wish list for this year is headed by pumpkins. Last year I ended up
growing one plant by accident (meant to do more) and got 2 pumpkins and
they
were a revelation. This year I want to grow 3 or 4 plants.
I am also a glutton for fashion whims and now want globe artichokes after
seeing that Carol Klein digging up muddy handfuls and making chips.

Jerusalem artichokes are yummy - never mind fashion and flatulence. If
you find a supplier in the Dublin area, let me know!


Dobies say they deliver Artichokes to Ireland.
