What will you never grow again?

Sweet peas, this year they didn’t flower as well and went yellow and straggly very quickly, plus I just don’t have time to pull off the little shoots. I’m putting runner beans in next year instead.

Younger. Have tried. Doesn't work.

Angel wings. My daughter bought me one last Friday.
This is what it looked like in the Garden centre. Mine doesn’t look too well.

Thanks karmalady, sorting out similar will now be one of my projects for the winter.

I’m not growing vegetables again and have incorporated that area into the lawn. Our only success was with potatoes and onions, both of which I can buy cheaply. Everything else was eaten by birds, slugs, caterpillars or just rotted away in the soil. I once had a small cauliflower - must have been worth twenty quid for all the time and effort it cost to grow it.

Hi MerylStreep Angel wings likes to be dry and protected from heavy rain. Maybe it hasn't enjoyed the weather recently? It's a relative of ragwort so should be tough you'd think, but apparently not.
Hope it recovers.

asparagus, silly `mistake` I bought two packs and planted 10 into 3 raised beds. I grew them for two full years and the bumble bees loved them so I ignored that they looked overpowering in my small garden

I have had buyers remorse and need to move some more misplaced roses and 3 blackcurrants, so thought I would start emptying the asparagus beds. It took me hours to just empty one bed, the roots are thick and long and deep and everywhere.

My work tomorrow is to empty the other two beds, I don`t like asparagus enough for any to dominate my garden. I had no idea that they are such `in your face` plants

Squash, Pumpkins, Carrots, Broccoli, anything that need spraying, de bugging, babying,

Jerusalem artichokes - the most windy vegetable I ever ate!
Also aubergines - we have a polytunnel and tomatoes, peppers etc do well but only ever got one aubergine despite trying a number of years.

Mine are just about ready. The key is to add some sodium bicarb to the boiling water = no wind.

Strawberries just get eaten by slugs and birds- and always a worry about foxes. So sticking to lots of raspberries instead.

shallots, after growing them very successfully for many years I have no-where cool enough to store them here and I was going to put some in the ground but they have all gone rotten. Sigh. I liked growing my shallots. I could grow and freeze but not worth the effort any more

I took my brassica cage off too early and my 2 plants were soon covered in snails and big fat caterpillars. All removed as well as leaves. The sprouts and purple sprouting shoots all intensively sprayed with veggie wash in water, now looking clean and bare. I will be able to rescue something from these two plants

If purple sprouting does well wrt food, then I may grow the one plant with plenty of room under a layer of butterfly net or scaffold netting, bearing in mind that scaffold netting keeps out some light

Instead of shallots, I will grow carrots

No more lemon cucumbers - tasteless and pointless
Brassicas - a magnet for every blasted bug out there
Carrots - riddled with wormy things

Apart from tomatoes in the greenhouse I’m probably not going to bother with any vegetables again. I’ve pulled out the raspberry canes (half a dozen raspberries from 6 canes 🙄), blackcurrants did zilch.

Roses because I don't like the standard varieties and the climbing ones are just a possum banquet.

Chop suey greens because they taste awful.
