Fennel : Not sure what to do with fennel? Here’s a delicious sounding recipe sure to be a crowd pleaser! http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12301-fennel-al-forno Fennel is a memeber of the carrot family. It has culinary and medicinal uses. It has a flavor much like anise. It is one of the primary ingredients in absinthe.

Purple Daikon : A finer less fiery radish. Much like the parsnip, you can shave it and use in salads, pickle it, make kim chi with it.
Panisse Lettuce : “frilly lime-green ” oak leaf and a butterhead… with tender but sturdy enough leaves and a bittersweet flavor.
