There are simply too many plants to grow, and some just didn’t make the cut this year. In this video Kevin, @jacquesinthegarden and @Blossomandbranch talk about the plants on their chopping block and why you won’t be seeing them any time soon.

Ground cherry are amazing try them for your self like sweet little grape fruit!
For Jacques – if you dry out the super hot peppers, and then throw them into a pump sprayer, fill with water, let it sit overnight, then spray your plants, it will deter any pesky mammals like squirrels and raccoons – they cannot mess with scoville levels anywhere near that. Even habanero and cayenne can work.
My American Goldfinches LOVE cosmos.
Love NZ spinach.
Have no use for the chemical burn from the super hot peppers. Grow Datils and Thai Orange, they make great hot sauce and pepper paste, not too hot and really nice flavor.
The only ground cherry/tomatillo I like is Pineapple. It has a pineapple orange flavor when really ripe and is excellent to eat or make jam. The only thing that's on the edge this year is oats. The hulless just don't produce, trying a hulled variety to see if it will thru the dehuller. If not they're gone, which I hate because oat flour really lightens a bread loaf.
I had great success with Cosmos last year 😁
roasted turnips are really great
I've had over 20years of not growing much at all last year I started again with 3 raised beds I'm adding at least 3 more this year but it's definitely going to be a squeeze to get in what I do want so I'm being very selective about what and how much of anyone thing I grow
Try physalis peruviana instead of ground cherry.
Man, I grow the hot peppers more than (almost) anything. Ghosts, scorpions, habaneros all on my patio. Nothing like making fermented hot sauce
That’s a shame. Here in Pennsylvania, you couldn’t kill raspberry and blackberry plants even if you tried. Once they get goin, you’ll see them pop up everywhere.
Great content thank you All! I’m going to pass on California Wonder Peppers! Total failure in my garden.
"Without having to hurt myself in the process" words to live by 😆
We had a bumper crop of all the hottest peppers last year. Like 250 peppers per plant! of reapers, ghost and Trinidad Scorpion. You can sell it! I would love to grow my own wheat ONLY because I don’t want glyphosate coated wheat.
Regarding invasive flowers…my neighborhood now is no longer plagued with bare ground front yards cus of me. From bachelor button bushes to pinapple sage, agastache bushes to orangescicle climbing/creeping miniature roses- there's no hiding where they originated😅
My neighbors can agree there are more serious things to worry about than my plant addiction.
