Looking for something special ? Here are but a few unusual varieties :
A Black Sea Man Tomato ? What a colorful salad this would make .
Black Squash
Purple Spinach
A Mum that you cook with ( Chinese and Korean Cuisine )
Lemon Cucumbers
Purple Cauliflower
Purple Carrots
A Weird Shaped Broccoli
And my personal favorite - The Hillbilly Tomato . Shouldn't that be Redneck Tomato ? Seems it was re-discovered growing in the hills of West Virginia and when sliced open it reveals a starburst pattern.
EVERY thing you need in seeds-heirlooms, new varieties, for those who have large acreage there's seeds sold in the thousands, seeds for rare trees and plants, and every kind of seed accessory you can imagine.
I don't grow edibles but the black squash I'd grow just for the color.
ReplyDeleteHi MBT. That black squash is cool, isn't it ?
ReplyDeleteI've eaten a few of these funky coloured veggies, like the purple cauliflower and the Romanescu broccoli from outer space. Some of these vegs are interesting to look at but rather bland, however, I love the unique tomatoes. My favourite are called Black Krim (which is purple with dark green shoulders) and Caspian Pink. Delicious and colourful.
ReplyDeleteThere's a very cool book called 75 Exciting vegetables for your garden by Jack Staub that I recommend; it's a well written and entertaining look at some way cool veggies, many of which you'll probably find on the Amazon site.
Thanks, Jodi. I'll have to check the book by Jack Staub out for some cool veggies.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that seeds were available through Amazon. Those are all cool-looking veggies and I'd love to try some. Who cares about taste when the colours and shapes are so wonderful?
