Looking for some interesting plants this year, it's always something I'm trying to do.

And I will be honest, I sometimes go a little too crazy here and I grow something just

because it's so weird and so unique and I don't know. I get obsessed with that everyone has

their own reason to grow. Jacques, our resident garden hermit here, he grows for the flavor as he says.

So he doesn't really care if it's unique, if it tastes good, and that's certainly a valid way

to do it too. Chris, it sounds like you and I kind of have a similar bend where if it's weird,

we're kind of automatically interested, right? Yeah, totally. And that's why like the

last few years my garden hasn't been as bountiful. Like I'm not like going into the house with like

armfuls of like, I don't know, like six varieties of whatever I'm growing in the garden because I

just don't have those things or maybe they're just not at a state where I can harvest them from

or maybe they're just really slow growing and I just have to give them time. But yeah, I'm all

for the kind of the weirder plants or at least plants that are not as common or like they're

plants that you're not going to necessarily find in a seed catalog.

So when it comes to the annuals then, we talked about print news yesterday,

are there like three or four that have peaked your interest this year?

Yeah, and I ended up buying a whole bunch of seeds that belong in the grass family,

the poisee family or I guess you could think of them as the cereals. So I know you grew a whole

bunch of wheat. So maybe I was inspired by that. I'm like, oh, maybe I should explore some of these

kind of grassy things to grow in my area. So I purchased a whole bunch of rice seeds. I've never

grown rice people. Well, that's my dream actually. More than wheat because I'm a half Asian,

I want to grow some rice, you know. You should. I'm all in. It's, you know, don't tempt me. Don't

tempt me. I would love to do that. That'd be so cool. So okay, so talk to me about how you're
