I have decided to participate in the Growing Challenge.
Let's see, Rule #1 says to grow one additional fruit or veggie than last year.... well that's easy, I didn't grow any veggies last year :-)
Hang on, the other part of the rule says it has to be from seed.... well I was in a hurry to get the veggie patch underway so I bought a lot of seedlings, but I did grow my beans, radishes, carrots and some of my corn, tomatoes and spring onions from seed.
More recently I've put in some seeds of Watermelon (Sugar Baby), Pumpkin (Butternut & Golden Nugget), Cucumber (Armenian heirloom), Capsicum (Seven Colour Mix heirloom) and mixed Squash (Sweet 'n' Kwik) so I will have to wait and see what comes up and what doesn't. I also put in seed potatoes and sweet potato tubers.

Hi Bevb thanks for stopping by my blog :D Good luck on your challenge. I'll be growing my veggies in containers next year. Since we moved to NY. I have a tiny backyard and we are renting so I can't rip up the ground for a garden. I can't wait to check back to see how your garden grows :D
Good luck with the challenge. I had fun with my first set of plants. I didn't have too much success since I'm a beginning gardener. It is a great feeling though, to watch as something you never grew before grows up from a tiny seed and changes into something you can eat.
