#Repost @socalhort with @make_repost This month, we are satiating our appetite for growing out-of-the-ordinary vegetables with @lagreengrounds' founder Florence Nishida, M.S., our webinar that was originally scheduled for March!

She believes that simple deliciousness, as well as an attractive appearance, can make Asian veggies desirable garden components, which have a wide range of unusual shapes, textures, scents, and colors. She hopes to awaken our palates with the wide range of intriguing and sophisticated flavors, so we might choose to experiment with growing and eating Asian vegetables, especially as they are easy to grow!
