This is our little garden. We have two raised beds that the Mr built. I think they measure something like 4'x8'.
Bed 1:
Homested Tomatoes Roma TomatoesGarden Salsa Hot Peppers Jalapenos
Bonnie Bell Green Peppers Big Bertha Green Peppers
Fajita Bell Peppers Yellow Bell Peppers
Bed 2:
Sweet Basil Parsley
Carrots Broccoli
Cilantro
Garlic Yellow Onion
Chives Onion Green Beans
Cucumbers
Strawberries
Then in the surrounding outside areas of the bed we have 2 blueberry bushes, corn, 3 grape vines, & 2 blackberry bushes. If it's not too late I have some watermelon seeds to plant. Oh & a friend just gave me some left over sunflower seeds she had. The kind that grow up to 12' tall & have edible seeds!! I have 5 lavender bushes I planted out front. This is our first east coast attempt at a garden bed. We did this back in California with great success. Mostly tomatoes, various peppers, corn (fail - ants ate it), pumpkins (TOTAL SUCCESS!!) & some other things I know I am forgetting. We also had an obnoxious apple tree that always over produced but made great fruit for baking. I'll plant pumpkins late summer. We planted them too early last time & had mega pumpkins in like August. They apparently grow rather quickly.
Do you all have gardens? If so, what did you plant? Any seeds/plants you have had great success with or a total bust?

Broccoli sprouts... aren't they so cute?!! |
I have only braved herb gardens. I was able to grow basil from seeds *once* successfully. I couldn't even get a tomato to grow successfully with the "topsy turvy". What a fiasco. Looks like you have a wonderful start!
