One is Dragon's Tongue beans. If you've never had these beans, you're missing out. I tried planting them this year, but the grasshoppers ravaged them. Dragon's Tongue are purple spotted beans that lose their spots or stripes when cooked. They're tasty and worth searching them out. I found one person at the Farmer's Market who sold them. So, I bought a pack, blanched and froze them.
Another odd plant is Kohlrabi. A relative of the cabbage, these plants are peeled and cut up. They taste like cabbage, but are delicious sauteed in olive oil and garlic.
