Favorite thing from garden

[seedcorn]

If you could only get one product from your garden, what would it be?

I have to choose between tomato for sandwiche or fresh salsa with fresh salsa winning.

Ditto.

I'm not sure if I quite understand the question, Seedcorn :/.

Are you asking about a use, like stuffed bell peppers? Or, about a particular veggie?

I would really hate to do without sweetcorn and what grows in my garden is likely to be the best I can find! Other than boiling it for a few minutes, that's the only requirement I have for it.

Then again, I might not even be able to find baby beets if I didn't grow them myself. And, greenbeans are just ever so much better fresh from the garden rather than from a bin at the soopermarket!

Tomatoes? Yeah! Mostly because there are so many different ones that I can have - and I get the first choice! Ah veggies! Just let me lay out there and throw 'em on me .

Best thing I've gotten from my garden....

The time spend just sitting in the dirt with the sun on my back and a sleepy cat nearby.... my chickens in view, happily clucking and scratching and watching to see if I'm going to bring them any weeds.... Gail (the horse) coming over to the fence to 'graze' with me as I pull weeds.
Yup - so far these are the best things I've gotten from my garden - and I'm betting that they're gonna still beat out any corn or tomatoes :happy_flower

Steve, either works. Favorite vegetable or use of the vegetable. Curious if push came to shove, what would be last to go.

Yeah, I seem to be able to grow sweetcorn without special coddling.

It "wants" to grow and for that, I'm appreciative. I don't even have to have the Supersweets and they don't like the cool soil that has to be their seedbed during the spring. Don't have to start the water on boil before I go out to pick . . . no, it just seems that the corn in my garden beats anything I can get at the farmers' market or store.

I want those other veggies, too. Some of them I think of as vitamin powerhouses and I can't really think of corn in that way. Still, I can probably go a long way living thru the months of August thru October (& probably continuing) on sweetcorn. "Theyll get my seedcorn when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!"

I guess I would choose tomatoes. There are so many heirlooms and so little time. (and space!)

If push came to shove I would have to keep my spuds. Although I do admit, I'm not real inclined to dig one up and munch on it when wandering around the garden. That's where tomatoes have the edge . And sugar snap peas. And peppers....

I like what Cane said about what she gets from her garden. That could be the most important element.
