So this is going to sound quite random, but I have gardened a few times in my life and it's in my blood as I come from a long line of farmers.
So, long story short I was at the super market the other day and saw this insane looking almost alien like fruit vegetable thing.
Come to find out it's a African ground vine plant that produces these spiked cucumber watermelon things and was bright orange. They wanted 10 whole doallers for the damn thing.
So I got to thinking. The world's a big place right? 10$ for one tiny little thing that you sure as heck probably can't get anywhere else.
Surely there's gotta be some vegetables or fruit like that... Something from China or Asia, Russia, Africa... Something they don't sell at grocery stores.
Something that's good to eat or tasty. Something that people would almost definitely want to try just because people want to try new things always.
It's just an idea, I'm gonna start looking at starting my own garden next year if I find anything interesting looking that I feel like I have a good chance at growing and making maybe some extra $ on the side.
Anybody grow anything interesting you can't really buy at your typical grocery store around here?
