Your Alphabet of plants

[veggiechicken]

A little game for you on a wet and windy day

Can you make an alphabetical list of the veggies that you actually grow - and have one for every letter of the alphabet? For example,
Asparagus
Beetroot
Carrots...............

No Goggling for ideas, just raid your seedbox for ideas.

Maybe do the same for flowers that you grow.

Or, if you don't grow much, a combined alphabetical list for any plants that you grow.

Doesn't matter if your list is incomplete, just put it up here and we'll see who has the most letters

See you later - I have a list to prepare

I have quite a few gaps. Think I need to go and buy some more seeds but wont tell the OH

[mothhawk]

The challenging letters are J Q U and X. Had a look at Suttons as they list everything by letter and there are no flower listings under these letters, and with veg only Q gets a look-in with just one entry - quinoa. No Z veg and only zinnia in the flowers

[Bigmallly]

You could always cheat & grow Jerusalem Artichokes.................

[Bigmallly]

Then you could grow some Xtra veg/flowers to fill gaps................Ok, I'm getting mi coit.

[Bigmallly]

I've also grown lots of "Unknown" flowers/veg when the label has vanished.
