Sinister Garden Remains Barren

I went to two different greenhouses today searching for the perfect foliage for this year's Sinister Garden. Nothing inspiring. Nothing even vaguely creepy. And for some sad reason, Malmborg's is not selling the ever-so-sinister Imperial Taro this year. Nor are they selling that big creepy thing I got last year with the giant maroon leaves and the blood red flower in the middle. Should I fill the space with non-sinister plants or just bide my time and wait for the perfect evil plant to reveal itself?

Meanwhile, I am applying my law school training to my new vegetable garden by employing a legal strategy known as "throw everything against the wall and see what sticks." While probably not advisable in either law or gardening, I really don't know what will thrive in my new little garden, so it seems like the thing to do. I picked up: tomatoes (2 varieties), cucumber, green beans, red bell pepper, basil, cilantro, rosemary, sweet corn, cabbage, butternut squash, strawberries, and a raspberry bush. Wish me luck!
