Heres a challenge

[ACE]

We have to build a garden that is full of contradictions. So who can come up with names of fruits and vegetables that are named after something you cannot eat.
Also who can come up with the names of  flowers named after a food (got enough strawberrys)

I have a lettuce called 'big lazy blonde.

The plants have to be looking good in july

We are stuck so help, lend us a hand. You might be instrumental in winning us a gold medal.
