Sounds healthy, but I don't know what courgette is.

That's a good selection for sure. No carrots?

@Traceyjayne That's three good reasons not to plant them!

Carrots are really easy to grow but they are also really cheap here. Plus, I don’t like cooked carrots.

I am not familiar with courgette so I’ll have to look that up. Everything else sounds great!

I love to have that too. I tried but failed several times. Right now, I have a citrus plant, probably 12-15inches tall already, I have two capsicum or chili pepper, and a moringa plant

@traceyjayne Ambitious! I have my seed potatoes chitting on the windowsill. And I bought seeds that will turn into chioggia beetroot. They’ll be sown in April.

@Traceyjayne It depends; I can grow lovely cauliflowers but have absolutely no success with carrots which you describe as easy to grow!

I have done potatoes in the past but wanted something different this year. I’m not sure how much of this will be planted or successful but I am willing to give it a go. I have gone beetroot, leeks and spring onions before. I have heard cauliflowers are most difficult to grow ….

I have problems with allium leaf miners here, which attack plants in the onion family, so that makes it challenging to grow onions, garlic, leeks etc. I have to grow them under inset-proof mesh which of course makes it really difficult to weed! Chives are fine; I think they still get attacked but since we only eat the leaves that doesn't matter. The leaf miners burrow their way down to the base which damages onions and garlic especially, but also leeks.
