Purple artichokes are popular with chefs, because they are so tender and tasty. Violetto di Romagna is an heirloom from Italy’s northern Emilia-Romagna province and is often considered to be the world’s best artichoke. The very tender leaves are almost entirely edible with nice, firm flesh. It cooks quickly; the chokes are ready to eat in no more than 20 minutes.

Similar to scallions but with a stronger, slightly hot flavor, Heshiko is ideal for salads or stir-fries. Its piquant flavor makes it perfect for Japanese soups and if left to flower, the flower heads are sweet and tasty.

Disappointed, because you live in an area that does not have a long enough Autumn to grow cool-season tomatoes? Well, here’s a fun idea! Tiny Tim can be grown as a potted plant anytime of the year. It is a true dwarf tomato plant that only grows to about 12" high. So grow it in a container and when a frost is predicted bring it into the house. Often used as a houseplant, it is also good for small gardens, patios, apartment balconies or hydroponics cultivation.
