This year’s new (to me) things to grow:
A melon that’s a cucumber (Carosello)
A cucumber tasting of melon (Tortarello)
Heirloom beans (Madeira Maroon, Bonne Bouche, Greasy, Yin Yang, Jacob’s cattle)
Heirloom melon (Cantalun)
A samphire-like from Japan (Okahijiki)
Vegetable spaghetti
Chinese celery (kintsai)
Chinese kale (kailaan)
Chopsuey greens (shungiku)
Garlic bulbs/bulbils with chive like leaves (Rocambole)
Will you be growing anything that’s new to you?
@Broadfork Great question! This year I will be growing some Celeriac that actuall develops a proper bulb. That will be new to me.
@JimmyB They need regular watering and leaf removal helps bulb growth but I have a love/hate relationship with celeriac too.
Any celeriac growing tips gratefully accepted.
@Broadfork yes David told me last year to scarify them and I did… but maybe not enough? And water in our veg garden can be a bit hot and miss it’s true. We didn’t get lots of rain last summer so I rely on good mulch mostly but I suspect that’s not enough… will@keep trying though. Have a similar issue with Florence fennel
