I've ordered my seeds and as usual, have picked out a few new things as experiments. This year's winners are:
Genesis Cilantro. I've grown cilantro before but it always seems to bolt so darn quick. Genesis is supposed to be very slow to bolt, even in hot weather. We'll see if the experts and I agree on the definition of "very slow to bolt".
Flash Collard Greens. The kale has been such a success that I've decided to branch out even further. Collard greens aren't exactly a local staple here in Alberta, but I figure I've got the next 6 months or so to figure out what I'm going to do with them.


Borealis Haskaps. Technically these aren't going in the garden. We'll plant them somewhere in the yard. Haskaps are a member of the honeysuckle family. They are also called honey berries. Apparently they produce berries that taste like a cross between a raspberry and a blueberry. They're hardy to zone 2, grow quickly and produce a lot of berries within the first few years. I'm kind of going in blind because I've never seen a haskap bush, let alone tried and the berries, but what the heck - nothing ventured, nothing gained!
