What does Vinland offer which the Vikings can't get elsewhere?
Maize, beans, squash, and potentially a trade network with people who grow potatoes and tomatoes.
Not to mention turkeys.

So some weird grains and a gourd? Exotic, but why should any Norseman want to grow them or even care about them when rye and barley are just fine? They probably aren't even good for you since the skraelings eat them. Definitely not worth sailing all the way to the Maritimes to get.
IIRC the domesticated sort didn't occur anywhere near Newfoundland. And again, who cares? To a Norseman it's just a giant chicken.
