What are some unique vegitables to grow in my garden?

We're planting our usual veggie garden this week (last week in March). We do the usual tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots, squash etc. but I would like to grow something different this year. Any ideas? Also, any recommendations on growing blueberries?

What are some unique vegitables to grow in my garden?
Asparagus. It takes one whole season before you can harvest any, but then they last for a long time.


Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries.


Sunflowers. The seeds are healthy and fun to eat.
Reply:no veggies... lavender, its my fave!!
Reply:I like growing Kohlrabi--it tastes like a cross between turnips and cauliflower hearts. You might also try different types of winter squash, like spaghetti squash, or gourds--some can be used for birdhouses or even as water dippers.
Reply:Purple string beans. They turn green when you boil them and look like green beans. But befor eyou cook them they are purple
Reply:Spaghetti squash is lovely. Garlic is easy. Potatoes are interesting, tasty and easy. Sweet potatoes are very tasty.
Reply:We like to grow edamame, kohlrabi, and mesclun. The edamame are japanese soybeans like you see in the asian salad at McDonald's. You can find kohlrabi at any decent sized grocery chain. And mesclun is a mix of different salad greens. All are great. We bought a packet of mixed peppers last year and ended up with white and purple. It was interesting to say the least!





Have fun.
Reply:I think that eggplant is an excellent choice, you could also try mint, although it is not really a vegetable, it is very expensive in grocery stores.
Reply:try to plan avocardos trees, even bluse berries..
Reply:How about artichokes?
Reply:Purple potatos, beans, pumpkin, leeks, garlic

Mini tomatoes and Romas


golden watermelon or sugar baby watermelons


Different varieties of edible flowers


green onions

Try starting a grape arbor with your favorite type of grapes...
Reply:Grow some beans and buy a blue berry plant/shrub from Sams club
Reply:Artichokes are wonderful, I'm with that suggestion. They do, however, require a lot of space. They are perennial, if properly protected from frost.
Reply:I'm planting beets, watercress, pumpkins and watermelons this year.


I have tried blueberries, but the didn't fare so well under my watch...
Reply:Brussel sprouts. They are fairly tall and the sprouts look unusual close to stem. Beets have a nice red and green leave.
