Pretty much every year I do a show like this where I go into 10-12 things I am going to try growing this year that I have never grown before.  Thing is after decades of doing that I really don’t have a list of that many this year, that I have never grown before anyway.  I do have a few I will share today.

The big thing though is my core crops, at least many of them came from this annual exercise.  Examples include Ping Tung Eggplant, Tromboncino Squash, Snake Beans and Safflower all became standard crops by starting out as something to try.

So I came up with a new idea this year.  I made a post on Facebook asking people the following…
