If you have limited space and want to focus your garden on the type of food you like to eat, then here are some seed and plant ideas for an Italian garden.
Vegetables:
Beans – Italian Green, Borlotto, Cannellini
Beets
Broccolini & Broccoli Raab
Greens – Arugula, Radicchio, Kale
Mushrooms
Sweet Peppers – some examples include Marconi, Pepperoncino, Sweet Banana
Tomatoes – especially Roma Tomatoes
Fruit:
Olives – green or black will do!
Figs
Lemons
Blood Oranges
Amarena Cherries
Grapes – can’t go wrong with Italian wine!
Herbs:
Fennel
Oregano
Olive Herb – since we don’t get enough heat in Pittsburgh to grow olive
Parsley
Thyme
If I think of any more veggies, fruit and herbs, I will update the list!
