Good evening friends! Blake is searching for more help in acquiring some varieties of crops to help improve his European settler gardens to honor his community's past in Chicago to edify everyone. Here's his list.
1. Gros Vert De Laon Artichoke ( very interested in the tasty buds of the head of the plant and wanna honor Jacques Marquette the famous French explorer who came to the Great Lakes centuries ago)
2. Osmak flint corn ( have some deep Serbian settler roots in my community in the late 1800s and wanna commemorate those who contributed economically in my community)
3. Glendale or Gortahork cabbage ( got some Irish ancestry from my late grandfather and also have some Irish ancestry in my community)
4. Irish black oat (also need those for my Irish garden next year)
5. Red stem leaf celery (looking for the true authentic Irish one)
6. Serbian melon ( heard they have a dry sweet potato taste in them but I'd like to grow those for the Serbian community)
7. Rosscoff cauliflower ( heard a lot about it and its tasty flavor)
Those are the hard to find types and acquire from seed companies in Europe. Any of you grew any of these before? It will be challenging to bring these varieties to America cause of the procedures. If you all know somebody who has these types and easy to acquire please let me know. Please reach me in the Purple Moosage site for more details about them. Good night!
