Here are some of Sarah's favorites which are highlighted in more detail on the show:

“Parisian Carrots are really round. They’re adorable and I think they’d be better if you had a rocky soil because they are a shorter, stubbier carrot. It’s all about growing cute food.” - Sarah Griffen Boubacar

“The Japonica Striped corn is awesome for a landscape plant. Not only are the kernels red and pink and yellow, but the leaves themselves are striped in all of those colors.  That make it really exciting as a landscape plant as well as an edible.” - Sarah Griffen Boubacar

“My son loves the Jack Be Little pumpkins. We grew them this year and he took them to school and shared them with his friends and teacher. They are adorable little pumpkins. I did them in a container and they grew perfectly.

They are not just decorative – you can eat them. What I like to do is just cut out the top, scoop out the seeds and then stuff them with a little bit of stuffing and bake them. They’re adorable and then when you serve them you just give everyone their own pumpkin.” - Sara Griffen Boubacar

There are so many great ideas and options for your 2014 garden - you won't want to miss this episode!
