lesser known vegetables

orflo · July 3, 2007

I am a great fan of lesser known vegetables, oca, mashua, chinese Yam, lathyrus tuberosis, ullucus, maca, ... and I can go on. Is there anyone else growing similar vegetables, I get the impression everybody is growing garlic ,onion,cabbage, tomato ,pepper,and other 'classic' stuff( i also grow these, so no offense), but I want to widen the view, there are so many unknown and good things, asparagus pea,yacon, and so on. Anyone trying some of this?
