Some Pretty Weird Looking.....What??


The above three plants are some of the weirdest things I have found on the internet. The pumpkin looks like it's a fossil from millions of years ago. Those long skinny tomatoes look more like cucumbers than they do tomatoes. I'll bet they make great dill spear pickles. That broccoli looks more like something you'd find growing at the bottom of the sea like some exotic coral, not on the dinner table.
I'm going to share with you some of the weirdest vegetables available today. Planting a few of these in your vegetable garden is sure to get the neighbourhood talking!


The purple peppers look like they'd be more at home in the flower garden than the vegetable garden. The fact that the peppers point up instead of hang down makes them unique. What about those tiny little watermelon? Bet you never would have guessed they were watermelon. Good luck trying to grow those ones square! Visitors to your garden might think they have found a dinosaur egg when they first spot this cucumber. You could have a contest and see which of your guests is able to identify the most of these weird veggies.

Titty Fruit is also known as cow's udder. The fruit on this plant is not edible but I included here as a conversation piece. Bittermelon is a popular Asian vegetable the looks like petrified sweet white corn. The pretzel bean is very easy to grow and tastes great.
