Ground cherries! Last year when I did this I got enough to pick one or two every morning to enjoy on my way to work, which always started my day off well.
Figworts! Early and Late. I got some by winter sowing and also ordered some from Prairie Moon in case they didn’t germinate over the winter. But they DID! I have lots and lots of Figworts! Lots.
I tend towards the unusual varieties of vegetables too. I've grown Korean Long tomatoes (big, pointy fruit but not a great producer) and heirloom lettuces. This past season, I grew White Icicle radishes. They were closer in look and flavor to horseradish, because they were so powerful they made us gasp.
I once grew 14’ kulli corn. It was quite dramatic
So cool!!!

Oh, what a great way to start your day!

I just looked up figworts! What a cool flower!
Really like seeing your unusual stuff!

Oooh, those white icicle radishes are beautiful!
They are, but they're painfully strong 😄
Can’t wait to try making Nerds Gummy Clusters from scratch!
We'll document that for a future newsletter!
Realizing I have nothing unusual in my garden and you're making me think it's time to change that... 😊
This is the summer to plant something crazy!
Well, I am moving to Sweden in two weeks (eeek!), and I am going to plant something crazy on my new balcony.
OH WOW! Good luck with the move!!!
