I built Julie 4 big raised beds and a couple of greenhouses a couple of years ago and we are now growing the following;
Parsley, Thyme, Garlic, Mint, Tea Mint, sage, Rosemary, Coriander, Oregano, Chives, Bay, Chillies, Peppers, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Squashes, Pumpkins, Carrots, Potatoes, Artichokes, Horseradish, Rhubarb, Gooseberries, Apples, Pears, Strawberries, Rasberries, Redcurrants, Plums, Cherries, Greenguages, Broccoli, Sweetcorn, Green Beans, Swiss Chard, Cucamelons, Lettuce, Courgettes, Rocket, Spinnach, Beetroot.
I'm sure I've missed a few but that's most of them.
We've also got a couple of Chickens for fresh eggs.
You really can't beat the taste of home grown fruit and veg. Anybody growing anything unusual (and I don't mean that 'special' baccy).

Got plenty of weeds and a puny gooseberry. Lilac tree is in full bloom but I can't eat that! Sounds great, Rob.

I have planted out a few pots with herbs and also got 2 chilli plants and 2 tomatoes on kitchen window sill... its is pretty humble but I am enjoying them!

I'm sorry... I think I used the same reserved word (carrot) for the dancing carrot! I'll see if I can fix it for you!

Mind you if you were going to hallucinate something couldnt you get something a bit more exotic? Are any of these new vegetables hallucinogenic?! I'm off down Tescos to check them out... I thought the only hallucinogen you could buy there was nutmeg!
