novelty or new crops for this year

stonysoilseeds · April 15, 2012

i always like this time the beginning of the season because its not too late to grow the vegetables you wanted to plant in previous years but for some reason you never got around to it or didnt have the seed.. for me this year its black garbanzos-kabul which i planted today ,,,, they were cultivated in afghanistan but improved at washington state... another new crop i am trying is celeriac although it might be challening for me and for my tomatoes i am especially excited about trying several ukranian and siberian varieties for the first time...... can anybody else share what they are excited to try this year?

Besides a number of new tomatoes we are trying kohlrabi and fennel root this year. Also... will be trying to trellis cantalopes...

Well... purple. Purple Jalapenos and Purple Tomatillos. Purple salsa! (hmm, need purple onions...)

I love the purples too! Purple cauliflower, dragon carrots, purple podded pole beans, Peruvian purple potatoes, Cherokee Purple tomatoes, purple passion asparagus! All of these have a home in my garden this year. What fun!

I have a great crop of celery, I'll never not have celery in my spring/fall garden again! It's wonderful and growing great!
Also, had a great crop of red spinach and variety of lettuces, most new to me types.
