Crazy Things You Can Grow

My favorite seed catalog is this one, with orange okra on the front cover this year. Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds

And until I received my free catalog this year, I had never heard of orange okra. But there’s more. How about giant beets?

One beet can weigh up to 40 pounds? And they’re used for a sporting even in the UK called “mangold hurling.” Check out the Mangold Hurling Association website here: http://www.mangoldhurling.co.uk/

Plant kale that can grow 20 feet tall.

And I have never seen this plant before. Bitter melon. The description says the fruit pulp is sweet.

Baker Creek always ships seeds for free, and the catalog is free, too. Request a copy here: https://www.rareseeds.com/requestcat/catalog 

I usually order interesting zinna seeds from Baker Creek.
