I’ve shared what I have decided to stop growing. Now I can share what I’ve decided to grow that will cover a vast majority of the recipes. The only things I’m not mentioning here is sage and parsley because I can open a few herb seed packets and be all set with those for a lifetime.
The first two are always in season - I decided to graft everything possible to these so I get everything consistently.
• Lemon
• Chocoberry
(lemon is very useful in gourmet recipes, but chocoberry might be a better choice because it’s smaller and can be preserved as a sauce, raising its value and increasing yields)
Everything graftable:
• Apple
• Blueberry
• Raspberry
• Strawberry
• Plantain
• Tomato
• Carrot
• Onion
• Potato
• Spinach
• Basil
I will also plant:
• Pomegranate tree IF I want to be able to make superfood salad or graft it with an orchid for death flowers. Perfect poms make great fertilizer as well.
• All mushrooms (white plus any special mushrooms you want for special soups).
• All oversized produce (pumpkin, watermelon, aubergine, oversized mushrooms and especially lettuce).
