2014 strange seeds that I will try :
African Bushel gourd - big round gourds the sizing of a bushel basket ! Suppose to be good to apply as container after they dry out . You know me and giant things !
White Egg gourds - from Southern Exposure Seed Exchange - small testicle gourd - looks like white chicken egg - voice like fun ! Now I can pretend my old girls are still laying !
Tarbais bean - from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds - a pole bean that you dry out out and cook for bean stews , soups and cassoulets . More ticklish flavor than navy beans . These role to be punishing to find in the State Department but gratefully Baker Heiloom Seeds has carried them for 2 years now .
Eyesines de Galeux - from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds - a salmon warty wintertime squeeze that taste divine . The more ‘ worts ’ the sweet it taste . More worts = more refined sugar in it .
