      A bunch of different vegetables are all actually one genus of plant.

      Brassica species and varieties commonly used for food include bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, collard greens, choy sum, kale, kohlrabi, napa cabbage, rutabaga, turnip and some seeds used in the production of canola oil and the condiment mustard.

    I know two local small scale vegetable growers. One grows exclusively brassicas. The other grows exclusively brassicas plus carrots. I’m planning to start a small scale vegetable business myself and honestly thinking of just straight not growing a single brassica to have zero local competition in the local farmers market.

        I was thinking of doing beets, pumpkins, celeriac, carrots, parsnips, zucchini, Jerusalem artichoke and ornamental gourds. They are not vegetables but I’m also planning on growing melons.

          There’s also tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, cucumbers, peas, beans, squash, eggplant, spinach, onions, garlic, corn, and many varieties of these. Not saying you should grow all these, just adding more to the list (though hot peppers might be good bang for the buck).
