greeneyes:" Good list. Mine is more simple: leaves, fruits(includes solanese) roots, and legumes."

I like your list as it is simple and easy to remember.
I prefer KISS = Keep It Simple , Stupid !
Every year I try to play and experiment with a previously unknown crop to me.
Last year it was Thai Basil ; but I found it too 'peppery' for my taste.
This year it is 'Datura Sativa', which flowers similarly to an up-flowering Easter lily, but has certain medicinal properties.
I intend to harvest seed from this years crop.
Continue to play and experiment in your garden, and grow plants outside your known 'comfort zone'

I tried cascadia peas, left over potatoes, Walmart potato bucket, pimento pepper, and patio tomato this year for the new stuff. All except the peas and Walmart bucket, have done well.

I still have some potatoes to dig. Two of the beds were from potatoes that I saved for seed from last year, and that was also a firt. Only had a few, but they produced fairly well.

Are you sure about that name? I couldn't find it in a search. And all the daturas I know about are toxic.
