What we grow is usually dictated by what we love to eat and what our climate permits us to grow. Some people stay within their comfort zone; the average outdoor summer garden has tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, peas, beans, lettuce, kale, broccoli, zucchini, and cabbage, the usual suspects. The more adventurous gardener will try something new every year. Peanuts, passion fruit, heirloom anything, and hope that the weather cooperates for their project. More and more gardeners are also adding medicinal properties to that decision-making process.
