Oh no.  The Italians have a way with vegetables.  And they grow their own.  They have developed the most magnificent array, and now we in America can buy Italian seeds.  Yes, now you can grow Italian.  Each year I see more and more imported Italian vegetable and herb seeds at garden centers, but the go to place remains <a title=\"Seeds From Italy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.growitalian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seeds from Italy<\/a>.  The number of their offerings is astounding &#8211; more than thirty varieties of radicchio and chicory alone.  And it just keeps getting better &#8211;  by September they expect to have Italian garlic &#8211; Sulmona from Abruzzo and Berrentina  Piacentina from Piacenza.  The list goes on &#8211;  beans, cabbages, kale, cavolo, caulifower, endive, escarole, and I&#8217;m only to E.\u00a0 My favorites, however are the pumpkins, le zucche.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll find a tremendous selection, and you have never seen ones like those grown from <a title=\"Seeds From Italy\" href=\"http:\/\/www.growitalian.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seeds from Italy<\/a>.  The only thing you will regret once you peruse their catalogue of imported Italian seeds is that your backyard garden is not larger.  Life is good in the garden.
