Spring Garden
~ lettuce, several varieties (currently harvesting)
~ spinach (getting close)
~ broccoli
~ onions
Summer Garden
~ slicing cucumbers
~ tomatoes (roma & slicing varieties)
~ green bell peppers
~ butternut squash
~ yellow squash
~ zuchinni
~ pole beans
~ bush beans

Also have blueberry bushes, blackberry bushes and raspberry bushes.Amy

we're planting tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in some pots - we're renting right now and looking for a house. I would love to grow different types of berries next year if we have a house. Where can you find berry seeds? i don't see them around. maybe tractor supply? Are they hard to get them to grow? I'd really like to grow blueberries - they're sooooo expensive around here!!

Hubby's garden is too long to list. He has 140 varieties of heirloom tomatoes started... if that's any clue.
Without being too specific we have:
~Paste tomatoes, salad tomatoes, canning tomatoes and cherry tomatoes of all different colors and flavors ranging from white to black and red to yellow.
~Corn; sweet corn, indian popcorn and field corn
~Potatoes: yellow, red bliss, white and blue
~Peas; sugar snap, sweet and field peas
~Cabbage
~Herbs; comfrey, several varieties of basil, lemon balm, chives, 10 varieties of garlic, oregano, sage
~Huckleberries, sunberries (in addition to existing black raspberries, blackberries, mulberries and gooseberries)
That's all I can think of that he has going right now in various stages. We'll add more later; as other things mature, we rotate them
