As with all food it needs to come from somewhere and why not from your own garden; so I have compiled this list of plants I think I would like in my garden. I also tend to stick with Open-Pollinated varieties because I get a kick out of saving seeds (and I only have to buy them once), so if they are hybrid it will be noted with F1. This list will be changing as I try new things and decide whether I like them or not, and if they are worth the trouble to grow or if I'm just better off buying them.
