It’s worth trying some of the Chinese vegetables which, for some reason, are seldom mentioned in lists like the above. Also, I’ve found that heirloom tomatoes and other heirloom vegetable seeds, available from catalogs on line are often superior to commercial types. Commercial vegetable seeds are often designed for shelf life, not flavor and nutritional value. One scuppernong sized tomato produced bite-sized fruit even beyond the first frost despite weeds all around it. You save those seeds, believe it.
Also, greens grown in containers are often more pest free and can be brought indoors to avoid severe cold. We’ve become fond of an Asian mustard called Tatsoi, which provides greens as mild and tasty as spinach all winter in a container outside here in Escambia county Alabama.
