The following should be a gardener's commandment:
Thou shall try and use restraint when ordering vegetable seeds.
I have been perusing gardening websites today. If I were to plant/grow everything that looks interesting, I would need about 2 or 3 acres. But, just look at some of this stuff! Can't you just imagined these stuffed with a wonderful vegetarian sausage, tomato and cheese filling? Or what about making salsa with these? I can just see the look of shock on the faces of friends and family when receiving this. Or what about making pesto with this type of basil? One thing I have to plant is this vegetable. We discovered these beans at the New Bern Farmers' Market last year and fell in love with there look and their flavor. YUM! And, I might just have to grow these in honor of Barbara Kingsolver of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle fame. Yup. They are the beans that are shown on the cover of the book.
So, if you could grow a garden, what would you just have to plant?

We enjoy the heirloom veggies as well. Have you ever been to the herb festival at Maymont? Pepper and tomato plants of every variety in addition to great herbs are available.
