Here's what to put in the ground now: achira, African blue basil, aibika, arrowroot, boniato, cassava, chaya, chayote, cranberry hibiscus, galanga, katuk, longevity spinach, malabar spinach, malanga, molokhia, moringa, Okinawa spinach, okra, ruby hibiscus, southern peas, oregano, papalo, quilquina, roselle, sweet potatoes, taro/dasheen and tindora.
