I was thinking the other day about my favourite vegetables to eat and I came up with a list of 10, so in order from best to least best, I came up with Cabbage, just because it is the best tasting vegetable around. Then Broccoli closely followed by peas, both these green vegies are well tasty. Then in fourth place I listed Yorkshire Puddings, that gorgeous fluffy vegetable that looks like it wants to be a potato but tastes oh so much better, and it goes well with oozy brown gravy and goes so well with beef.

Then I wanted Asparagus, again a green vegetable and well tasty followed by carrots and then brussel sprouts, both go so well with each other and taste good anyway you cook ‘em. In 8th spot I have ice-cream, any flavour really and then leeks, just cause I like the oniony flavour but it ain’t as aggressive and rounding up the top ten, I like pumikin, but only when it is cooked right, and you can keep your trombone. That ain’t Top Twenty material.

So listed it looks like:

Cabbage
Broccoli
Peas
Yorkshire Puddings
Asparagus
Carrots
Brussel Sprouts
Ice-Cream
Leeks
Pumikin.

ok mine would be alot different

1.Peas
2.Potatoes
3.Pumkin
4.carrots
5. Tomatoes
6. Broccoli
7. Cauliflower
8. Lettuce
9. Radish
10. Corn

I might have to check with Bobby Fulton’s mum about the Yorkshire Pudding being a vegetable…

I reckon Margaret will be on my side on that one, especially when drowned in gravy and sat alongside some nice Roast Beef, what vegetable doesn’t enjoy gravy and Roast Beef?

yeah but both milk and cream come from the non-pointy end of a cow, and in the opposite end you put green stuff like vegetables and grass. So milk and cream is just recycled vegetables, without the colour.

Carrots
Beans
Broccoli

Yes. It goes with everything.
Except coke. You need rum for that.

My fav vegies are as follows

Food.

Just about covers everything, from Yorkie’s pud to chocolate cornettos to coke. ;P

Otherwise it’s

Brussels Sprouts
Beans
Broccoli
Cabbage
Tomato
Spuds
Peas
Asparagus
Chives
Anything left in the vegie garden:D

Popping cherry tomatoes as I read and surf the internet… tummy is hungry after laying in bed for an hour or 2.

Sure beats no-no food.

corn
spuds
carrots
peas
beans
celery
broc
lettuce
onions
bluddy toms (if i could grow them – i’m getting 2 – 4 kilos per plant at best – i will need to build a specialised bed next summer and get water to them everyday and learn to prune them properly – grrr)
cancel toms – make it capsicums instead.

They say ?? you should rotate tommie crops, true or false ??

I agree, and I notice Happy Potter snacks on hers in the garden…I miss my cherry tomatoes…it’s amazing how only a couple will stop you from picking at “no-no” foods when getting lunch / dinner ready…

I always thought that you should as tomatoes belong to the solanacae (F7) family…do you want me to look up my Encyc of Organic Gardening?

Thanks Dinetta :), maybe a reason why Pepe’s are not doing as well as they should ??

The Estate said:

i rotate – but some books (including steiner books) still say plant them in the same spot every year.

OK, I need to look it up anyway as I would be continually cropping once my new beds are up and going…I’ve often thought that if you were only going to plant the stuff (any stuff) once a year, like my father did, why would you need to rotate?

I mean, Dad planted strawberries in the same bed every year…they died over summer so we had strawberries come late winter, early spring…the same with the peas and beans and carrotts and beetroot and curcubits….and they thrived…

Pardon me for sounding dumb, but would crop rotation only apply if one plans to continually crop (no resting the garden bed for more than a month) ?

No idea sorry, I only have one bed so tuff titties for Thee if the need to be, but I rest the beds in between and always feed and top up with goodies

——————-
spell sunthin rong – than you will sound dumb LOL.
i rotate because it is fashionable to do so – but i also rotate chooks between crops. you can rotate green manure crops between harvests as well.
build up of soil nematodes and other soil diseases is the reason for rotating – and now farmers do it as well – because in the past whole countries have lost their crops due to soil disease.

ROFL!!!

what’s crop rotation got to do with your top ten vegies! Ruddy Hi-jackers…

And Beer is really a cereal crop, so pretty close to a vegetable.
If a Vegetarian is allowed to eat it then it must be a vegetable re: ice cream.
