Other Heirloom Veggies

In an effort to encourage EVERYONE to try Heirlooms, I am offering the following “dibs and dabs” to try….most can be grown in containers (no excuses that you don’t have the room!). I’ll be trying them myself, so make sure to touch base and let me know what you think and what interesting things you’ve thought to do with them! They all sound extremely intriguing, so what’s to lose??! I will have them in various container sizes.

Celery

A Contrary Mary FAVE …. MUST try!!! I grow mine in our Veg Trug with some shade. The leaves are edible and yummy all season….VERY intensely flavored!

Kohlrabi

These little UFO looking creatures have become one of Contrary Charlie and my favorites veggies. You can eat them raw, stir fried, steamed, alone, with other veggies…..

I recommend peeling them for the most tender experience. We grow ours in our veg trug and in other containers as they don’t take up much room. You get one fruit per plant and the stems and leaves are also edible. They are best picked at 2-4” in diameter, and do better when the weather is coolish (not the heat of high summer). Try them, you’ll adore them!

Lettuce

I possibly will have several varieties…. please call or email in May if interested!

Okra

Needs a warm soil so not ready until at least Mid – May.

Strawberry Tristan

A Gotta-have!!! Grown both for her DELICIOUS berries (nothing is better than a FRESH Strawberry!) AND for her gorgeous ornamental flowers. A perfect container plant as she does not “run” nearly as much as regular strawberries and will not become a Garden Thug.
