We're more or less sorted on seeds, apart from:
* sweetcorn
* small winter squash (uchiki kuri or Crown Prince)
* scallop squash (either yellow, Sunburst, or white)
* seed potatoes
I've also decided that this year, I am going to plant asparagus.
In terms of fruit, we will have, in 2015:
* rhubarb (with one crown being forced under a bucket so that should get us early stalks -- two weeks ago, the tallest was already about 5cm up)
* blackcurrants
* redcurrants
* whitecurrants
* gooseberries
* raspberries
* white wine grapes
* strawberries
* blueberries (have 2 shrubs but must prepare an acidic bed for them)
* apples
* pears
* plums
* maybe our first cherries! (currently, the tree is still in the pot)
Roots:
* carrots
* parsnips
* beetroot
