Growing vegetables and fishing, two things I enjoy, have a lot in common. Both require optimism and both require a certain degree of luck no matter what your skill level is. No matter how much you plan and prepare, there is always a chance that nature is not going to cooperate.
The Kitazawa Seed Company specializes in all types of Asian vegetables. This is the forth year I have ordered from them and while their prices, products, etc are all good, their customer service is GREAT! There have been at least two occasions where they went amazingly out of their way to ensure my order was correct.
Most of their varieties are best suited for warm climates with long growing seasons rather than frosty New Jersey and these are easily the hardest things I will attempt to grow this year which will require the biggest component of luck. Not organic and many hybrid, they are the exception to everything else being planted this year.
Here is what I am trying this year:
Green Shiso
Yard Long Bean
Ant, Hybrid Bitter Melon
Green Skin Bitter Melon
Katsura Giant Pickling Melon
Sweet Mama, Hybrid Kabocha
Ichiba Kouji Hybrid Japanese Melon
