After looking at last years patch sizes and realising that all my plants were no more than 300 sq ft each made me think about utilising the space I have a little better.

The trouble with growing in UK climate without a tunnel is that it's tough to establish a really big plant before pollination and then after pollination growth really slows down. In 2013 I ended up with a lot of open space and have decided to extend the main patch which grew two plants last year and to grow five in it this year. Sounds ambitious and I may need to adjust the plan mid-season but by extending the patch I think it can be done.

Going from 5 patches to 7 was torture as it through me right back into seed selection torment.

Captain indecisive has decided that enough paper has been wasted scribbling down the same seed lists again and again so here it is, 2014's line-up.
