2018 Food Trends to Grow in Your Garden
We are often asked to speak about food and gardening trends to Master Gardeners and home gardeners and it just happens to be one of our favorite topics. Sometimes, depending on the group, we might even call it “Snob Factor” gardening because who doesn’t like to impress their guests with a unique vegetable or fruit grown in their own garden?!
Here are some food trends, as defined by some of the leading food publications and a few AAS Winners that go along with those trends:
Asparagus and Bok-Choy Frittata
Using AAS Winner Asian Delight Pak Choi
Vegetarian Gumbo
Using AAS Winner Candle Fire Okra
Cabbage Voulete with Poached Pears
Using AAS Winner Katarina Cabbage
Roasted Green Tomato Basil Soup
Using AAS Winner Chef’s Choice Green Tomato
Wouldn’t a basket of these goodies make you want to post it on Instagram?
What are you planning to grow this year in your “Foodie Garden”?

I’m looking forward to growing Midnight Snack tomato again. They were so tasty last year we didn’t share them though – we kept them all to ourselves! The indigo coloring makes them a real looker too.
Shishito peppers! Dragon Roll is very easy to grow and you get plenty of fruit for an entertaining appetizer.
Katie, we need your recipe on how to fix them like a good sushi restaurant preps them!!!!!
