Seems just about every thing I ever planted was aimed at sugar
production. Wondering if folks with sugar issues can plant
accordingly ?

Bill S. Jersey USA zone 5 shade garden What use one more wake up
call?

The only thing I quite growing after the onset of type 2 is potatos, my
garden this year consist of:

tomatoes
corn
peas(cowpeas to you yankees)
pinto beans
asian long beans
okra
drum head cabbage
turnips
mustard
buttercrunch lettuce
5 varieties of peppers
crook neck squash
white scalloped squash
zuchinni
carrots
bokchoy

My gardening does reflect my diabetes, in the past I would have grown 2
80' rows of potatos and much more corn than I have now.

My brother plants stevia.


I have grown stevia in the past,
there is no denying it is sweet,
but it has an edgy metallic taste that
I don't care for.

Like most taste, it is purely subjective
and some of the blends aren't all that bad.

There is a difference between plants as well, and perhaps a difference
with the season.
