Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - what out-of-the-ordinary vegetables did you grow this year?

**nctomatoman** · January 4, 2012

I did a late summer planting of Brussels Sprouts seedlings that were looking great - until I took down the motion detector sprinklers (everything else was out of the garden and I didn't want to waste water or batteries) and Bambi and company found them quickly - that would have been my most "out there" planting (for me!).

Tomatillos were lovely plants but a failure in terms of yield - am giving up on them (we had 4 different types - they grew to 6 feet tall, had loads of flowers, but took forever to finally set - then Fusarium seemed to take the plants).

We are going to do Spaghetti Squash (we love it and it is not inexpensive in the store), and some dried beans (Black Beans and Cranberry Beans), since we eating them so frequently.
