Guess what just hit the shelves – the All-American Selections for 2024 for vegetables and flowers are here, bringing some serious flavor and color to the garden.
First up, we’ve got the Purple Magic broccoli. Not only does it add a pop of color to your garden, but it’s also a sweet treat for your taste buds. And here’s the kicker – it can handle the heat without bolting. So, if your summer is sizzling, Purple Magic is your go-to green (or should I say purple?).
Next in line is the Skytree broccoli – the tall, sweet sensation you never knew you needed. It’s not just about height, though growing 2 ½ feet. This broccoli brings a continuous harvest, giving you a steady supply of that sweet, sweet goodness.
Lastly is the Red Impact pepper. This lamuyo type is a European sweetheart with thick walls, making it a bit of a diva in our summer heat. But fear not – Red Impact laughs in the face of scorching temperatures. It’s not your average bell pepper, it’s a high-yield, heat-loving superstar. Plus, the color journey from green to bright red is like a traffic light signaling you to stop and savor its sweetness.
Next time I will show you the winning flowers.
