Try Something New

Let's see a show of hands for everyone who has perused all 25 seed catalogs that have arrived. How many have made out orders for seeds already? I have been through the catalogs and instead of trying one new type of seed, I think I'm going to try quite a few. Here's some that look interesting-
(picture from Richter's Seeds) These are Red Pod Asparagus Beans. Aren't they lovely? I'd like to try Daikon radishes, Amish Deer Tongue Lettuce, Cossack Pineapple Tomatillo (these have a sweet, pineapple like flavor), and Rattail Radishes-look really interesting. For herbs I'd like to add-costmary (which I grew at my old homestead), fibre flax (because I don't have enough to do), banana mint-umm, and Orris. The catalogs are so full of new (or in some cases, very old) varieties. So many seeds, so little time.
