I've been intrigued by this landrace idea since I discovered it a few months ago, so i thought I'd give it a try.
The less interesting races
I usually end up with several different varieties of lots of the veggies i grow, and the packets take up storage space and I mess about writing plant labels and try to keep them apart and it's all a bit pointless. I don't usually mind what kind I grow as long as they taste good and grow well. So I've consolidated as much as possible with all my carrot seeds in one bag, all the cut-and-come-again lettuces in another, etc. Seems more convenient that way So here are the landraces that don't really excite me.

- Radish
- Chard
- Carrot (lots of different colours and some different shapes)
- Sprouting broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Spring onion
- Leek
- Nasturtium (yes I do grow these to eat)
