 Thomas Jefferson grew nearly 300 varieties of vegetables in his 1000 foot kitchen garden terrace, once described as a hanging garden. The following collection of seven 19th century culinary delights will provide a bountiful harvest for the table throughout the summer season. All are grown in Monticello's kitchen garden today. Brandywine Tomato, Carolina Lima Bean, Cos Lettuce, Jersey Wakefield Cabbage, White Eggplant, Sweet Basil, and 'Connecticut Field' Pumpkin.
