Food plants grown from seed: vegetables, greens, grains and the odd fruiting crop that behaves like a vegetable in the kitchen. Beyond the usual garden varieties, this section includes wild and primitive crop relatives that carry traits modern cultivars have lost, along with regional staples little known outside their home range. Each profile covers the plant habit, its growing requirements, and how to get reliable germination from its seed. The emphasis is on understanding the crop rather than just planting it, so the notes also touch on where each plant came from and why it grows the way it does.
