So far for me:
Vegetables
Austian winter peas (will plant as soon as the ground thaws, and use the shoots for salads)
Armenian cucumbers (no idea what these are like, that's the point)
"7-Pot Yellow" hot peppers

Flowers (most of these are for the bees and butterflies)
Safflower
Red buckwheat (https://www.rareseeds.com/stor...)
Tall cockscomb celosias
Purpletop vervain
Poke milkweed (Asclepias exaltata)
False nettle (for the Admiral butterflies, so I can pull up all the stinging nettles)
Pearly everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea)

Thomas Jefferson's Sweet & Shriveled corn (Heirloom Corn)

From Railey Farm and Field a place I never heard of before.

I ordered seeds for a few different types of carnivorous plants a while ago. Going to get those started soon. I've never grown carnivores from seed before. So that's the new big project for the year.

I also planted scallop squash seeds. I've grown them before, many years ago. I haven't grown them since because I haven't been able to obtain seeds for them. Finally found some late in the season, so I planted them recently. Hoping they still have time to take off.

Didn't they make a movie about one of those Rolling on the floor laughing

If the squash come up they should do OK as long bugs do not get them.

I think I will try to see if those are for sale again, as they did not work last year. I tip my hat to you.

Somehow "Sweet & Shriveled Corn" doesn't sound all that appealing to me Blinking

But I have to say that you grow a lot of very interesting varieties, RpR !
