Garden Growing addiction...

I seem to have a bad habit of not being able to go a lunch break without trying to think of some space or food that I could possibly grow at the moment.
I currently have:

Garlic,
Potatoes,
7 types of chilli,
2 peppers
asparagus,
Celeriac,
3 types of tomato,
cucumber,
beetroot,
shallots,
leeks,
courgette,
carrots,
3 types of strawberry,
raspberries,
gooseberries,
blueberries,
Pak Choi,
Mustard,
Spinach,
Rocket,

All my herbs as well and ive probably missed a few things off there as well.

My girlfriend has just bought me a lemon, orange and lime tree as well, which is pretty sweet & I already have a plum and apple tree nice and mature in the garden.

Anyone else get slightly carried away? I can't wait to cook with it all!

A few chilli plants, mint, basil, purple basil, dill, thyme, parsley. Herbs are the future.

Not really got room for anything else in this current flat.

Love the effort, I haven't bothered this year, in less than a months time I'm moving back into the city centre of this granite jungle. If I'm lucky I'll be able to grow some herbs and a chilli or two.
It's a great feeling though cooking with your own produce though. Generally taste's a hell of a lot better.

A cap doffing! That's a good effort. I can't wait for it to start growing some!

I would love to have space for a greenhouse and more growing space. In our limited space, we've got or are going to have

Second early and maincrop spuds - planted in tubs
Sweet potatoes - awaiting delivery
Garlic - growing nicely, planted in March IIRC
Fig tree/plant - a few years old, nothing great from it yet
Spring onions - planted out, need more thining
Sweet million tomatoes - from seed, still in the kitchen
Pearl tomatoes - "" ""
Squash - "" ""
Courgettes - "" ""
Rhubarb - loads from it already :cool:

Spinach - sown first crop

Herbs we've got chives, parsley, dill, thyme, mint, sage and a new bay leaf bush

We're also looking for a cherry tree on dwarf rootstock to replace a palm that died which had a good size tub
