GROW TO SHOW
The Newcastle Allotment and Garden Show receives an increasing number of entries each year into the unusual vegetables category.
If you are interested in this section, or in growing a few unusual vegetables just for pleasure, I recommend Simon Hickmott's excellent book, straight-forwardly called "Growing Unusual Vegetables" (£15.00 from Eco-logic books)
As an introduction to unusual and less-usual vegetables, we can start with the green plants which grow well in this UK but have fallen out of fashion or favour, probably because of the ease with which we can now obtain a variety of products from overseas. Think of the air-mils and pollution you could save by just growing a few unusual veggies yourself.
