Tomatoes, peppers, and a few other vegetables are planted in every garden. Try to find at least one new vegetable for your garden each year. You may find a new favorite.

For instance, you could try a melon that looks and tastes like a cucumber. It may even be better than a cucumber for the garden, since the plant survives heat very well. The Armenian cucumber fruit is pale green and can grow three feet long. They begin producing just two months after planting. The fruit grows straight when the vine grows on a trellis or twisted when growing on the ground.
