what to plant?

When choosing the best things to plant it does you well to talk to local folks. If they sell it at your local co-op it is because it grows in your area. Now that doesn’t mean nothing else will, but I wouldn’t invest in a pound of seeds for something exotic. In these days though it never does hurt to have a separate garden a ways off just to grow some heirloom varieties. Most seeds these days are hybrids and you can get the seeds from the produce but it won’t germinate. Is there a plan there? Yes probably. So plant some heirloom basics every year and harvest the seeds and keep in the freezer.
