Iowa State College extension horticulturist Mason Reger notes 1950 garden interest with new crops. Vegetables such as the vegetable soybean offer high protein and hamburger-like flavor. Nantes carrots are sweeter and more tender but not marketable for shipment. Okra gumbo thrives in Iowa, while salsity or oyster plant gains appeal as gardeners learn it.
