We grow Bronze Fennel in our food garden for the delicious anise-tasting leaves and seeds, but also as an incredible pollinator magnet that increases biodiversity. It's a host plant for several swallowtail butterfly species, including Anise Swallowtail and Eastern Black Swallowtail, while its nectar is an important food source for many types of bees and wasps. We've also spotted Ruby Throated Hummingbirds paying a visit!
The leaves of Bronze Fennel are delicious fresh in salads, and can be dried for seasoning. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, make a delicious and soothing tea.
NOTE: This a perennial plant with roots, not the bulb-forming fennel veggie you may be more familiar with.

I will never have a food garden without Borage. This stunning herb has unique blue-purple star-shaped flowers that pollinators - especially bumble bees - absolutely crawl over all season long.
Every part of this plant is edible! It has a mild, cucumber-like taste that's delicious in salads and beverage garnishes. I dry the flower heads for bath salts, soap making + crafts, and when frozen in ice cubes, Borage makes a whimsical addition to drinks.

Requires a trellis + full sun. Harvest regularly to encourage more flowers to form.

A delightful novelty veggie in my food garden, Cucamelon - aka mouse melon - look like miniature watermelons! Hailing from Mexico and Central America, these distant cucumber cousins have a bright, refreshing taste with a citrus tang. They're totally unique and kids, especially, love them.
Cucamelons rarely make it in the house, as I snack on them while tending my gardens. But when they do, they're sliced in a salad or bring a small to a veggie platter. I preserve them like pickles, too. And just had a customer tell me they put them in cocktails!
Cucamelon vines need a structure to climb as they grow. My favourite way is to guide them along a tomato cage when growing in a container, but any sturdy trellis will work. Once flowers appear, start checking for fruit after a week.
$4 each or 3 for $10 (save $2!)
Type: annual fruit (although eaten as a veggie, like tomato)
Height: plant 1 ft tall, vines up to 10 ft.

Bears beautiful, pear shaped tomatoes great for sauce making. Crack resistant
Type: Indeterminate, vining plants that will need staking. Plants will keep growing and producing until frost. You can read about the difference between Determinate and Indeterminate tomatoes here: Determinate vs. Indeterminate Tomatoes
Height: Indeterminate height.
Light: Full sun
Soil: Rich soil. Use good quality compost around plants and mulch well.
Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will result in good growth and happy tomatoes. Inconsistent moisture can lead to "Blossom End Rot". Always water tomatoes at the base of the plant never getting water on the leaves.
Planting:
- Harden off* and then transplant to the garden after all frost danger is gone.
- Bury them deep! Plant the whole stem into the ground, not just the roots leaving only a few top leaves showing. The plant will put out roots from the buried stem, making your plant grow nice and strong!
- Space plants 60-90 cm, 2-3' apart; space rows 3-4' apart. They will grow nicely in containers but will need some kind of support.
- DO NOT crowd plants. This leads to poor circulation and disease
Harvest: 80 days to maturity (from the day they are planted outside)

Pruning out suckers on your plant will help it put more of its energy into fruit production. Suckers appear between the main stem and the branches and can be easily taken out with your fingers.
