How about a thread (hopefully I am not repeating one) for any of your new favorites for 2020. They can be brand new or just new to you.

I'll start.

I tried Melothria scabra (cucamelon, mouse melon, Mexican sour gherkin, cucamelon, Mexican miniature watermelon, Mexican sour cucumber, or pepquinos). this year. Had never heard of it. LOVE THEM!

Most of the rest of my cukes started to die when they had just started fruiting. But nothing affected the cucamelons. They won't break any records for tonnage but they produce a lot of small fruits...about the size of a small grape. They are VERY crunchy and taste about like you squirted lemon on really crunchy cucumbers. My new favorite thing of the year! I'll be growing them every year now. Here's a pic of a small handful below...

Okra! I'm growing Clemson Spineless, red burgundy and Jing orange in a 4'x6' bed with 12" spacing. The pods are great but the organic mass of the bed is what amazes me. A month ago they were 2' tall, now they're 7'-8'.

I grew those first two last year. Love okra but my small garden would have to have two beds of it in order to get decent production.

Collard greens was my big new item this year. 'Georgia' from the nursery starts, another kind from a seed company. I was blown away by how productive they are. Phenomenal growth. spring and early summer. We'd pick some huge leaves to feed the chickens, the next day you could swear you never picked anything.

Fair warning though- they seemed to be a trap crop for the cabbage worms, both green and striped, and harlequin bugs. My kale was much cleaner than expected while the collards got shredded. And my ruffley kale was cleaner than Red Russian flat scalloped leaf one. I learned a good lesson about different crops and the bugs preferences. I also learned that the parasitic wasps were thriving, I found lots of little bunches of cocoons. So I tried to let them go for it.

But once the daily rain let up, I sprayed with Bt and greens are sending out nice new leaves.

Are you doing anything special for Harlequin bugs? They are ravaging my kale

I think Spinosad spray has helped. Mine is Capt Jack's Dead Bug.

I tried a little turnip this year, haven't grown them for years. I had to cage my Earth Boxes to prevent the squirrels getting to them. They even liked the greens!

This variety was Silky Sweet Hybrid from Burpee. The turnips are quite small, pure white, about one serving each. But we ate them raw, and they are absolutely delicious. You do need to grow a lot of them, though. Two or three bites per plant . . but they can be about 5in. apart and grow nicely.

I took the seeds to my daughter's house in Utah after I harvested mine here in Florida, and her two little girls just loved them. The adults never got a taste of them.

I'm considering cucamelon for next year.
My favorites this year are black krim tomatoes and mini bell peppers. Producing a ton of peppers and huge tomatoes (many over a pound).
