Guidespot: Love Carrots…And Other Oddball Fruits and Vegetables
http://www.guidespot.com/guides/strange_cool_exotic_vegetables I’ve tasted a few of these unusual fruits (and they’ve all been great), but my slathering jaw dropped at the sight of a “cucumelon”: This is like the Reese’s peanut butter cup of fruits for me – two great tastes that taste great together. Further investgation on this oddity proves it’s even odder than […]

No sterile “lawn”, lots of twee little flowers, and a mass of green. Bonus points for being partially edible, entirely beautiful, and not requiring a single pass with the lawnmower all season.
