The Varieties of Life

The varieties of vegetables is, well, endless.

There's purple broccoli, strawberry spinach, etc.

Varieties are a great way to explore plants, and which ones most prefer your zone and which are most preferred by your family.

This year, I am really excited to grow Strawberry Spinach, which is a type of spinach that grows red little berries. Meaning this entire plant can be used in a summer salad!

I'm also excited to try purple sprouting broccoli.

I think that's what I love most about my plants...the possibilities and differences.

God is good for creating more than just one kind of vegetable, he gives us choices

Here is a chart I use to not only learn, but explore different vegetable varieties and then go to my local nursery to see if they have that type of variety, if not, I go to Baker Creek Seeds, for heirloom and non-GMO seeds.
