 I grew rutabagas last fall and what a delightful surprise. I grew Champion A Collet Rouge, an heirloom. The roots are deliciously sweet and creamy; they have purple tops and a light yellow flesh. The greens are unbelievable; the best I've ever tasted, and you won't find those at the grocery store.

The Bean KingMy grandparents have been growing heirloom McCaslan beans for many years. My grandfather, Woody, was known as "The Bean King" in Lenoir, North Carolina.
Woody, "The Bean King"
At 75 years of age, he harvested 47 five-gallon buckets of McCaslan beans and was featured in the local newspaper (above). He is pictured 12 feet off the ground along a 50 foot wall of beans.
