I don't have pics of everything, but, here are a few.
I also have a tomato (roma) plant that is just starting to flower, a pepper plant which will be flowering any day, some mesclune (lettuce) which is a bit wilted today, and another rose of the exact same type, (fragrant lavender simplicity) purchased on the same day who is a very slow grower...

Since we just moved here in the last year, we don't have anything well-established yet, (except what was already here...2 pink dogwoods, a weeping cherry tree, azelias, and a very sad little lilac tree....

I have a dozen tomato plants that arelooking good, 1/2 dozen pepper plants which are staring to flower, twenty some odd bush beans that are growing at a fantastic rate, an equally sized row of okra beside the beans, a row of squash, several hills of watermelons and cantelopes. It was too wet for me to get my corn in for the early planting but I'm working on getting it in for the late harvest.

I only had time to get in a small garden this year.

Damn.. sounds like a trip to Arkansas to raid your garden in about a month may be in order, Irish....

Damn straight I am. Wouldn't be very neighborly to raid the garden and Not bring the beer to the BBQ, now would it? (Come to think of it, I'm gonna be driving through Arkansas in a couple of days while on a lil vacation roadtrip.... )

I've got about 22 tomato plants - of various heritage an dhybrid sorts. Sweet peppers, brussel sprouts, zuccini, cucumbers as well. My beans didn't take well to being shipped, so sadly, they're fertilizer now.

I couldn't justify that many right now since there's just the three of us. Of course, my folks are moving down within the next month or so. We're hoping to be able to can a bit of stuff to help out this winter.

For some reason, this reminds me of the year my dad planted 122 tomato plants, 30 + pepper plants and a whole lotta other stuff .... for the 2 of them. I moved up in the fall and we could not can fast enough. We fed 5 families out of that garden and a lot of it was still wasted.

Bless you! My plants are like over-protected kids, who, instead of thriving on all of the attention, kind of wilt...

My tomaotes are only 2 feet tall, the herbs bearly sprouted. The flowers amaze me still blooming even in this extended winter weather. BUT.... the Gerber Daisys drowned no matter how many holes I drilled in those pots! Someone please send Sun!

I made a much larger garden this season..let me see if I can remember... 4 tomato varities, plus an heirloom variety called japanese black truffle, bok choy, brussel sprouts, cukes, brocolli, 3 lettuce types, green peppers, bush beans, peas, carrots, zuchinni, 2 types of squash, spinach, corn, watermelon, cantaloupe and red cabbage. Oh, and a large herb garden with sage, oregano, chives, thyme, rosemary and catnip for the little furries

Everything looks really great except the corn, just starting to peek out,we'll see...I will take some pics soon. By the way christina your garden looks great!

Hmmm...well most of my 'garden' is on my porch in pots. (I also have catnip, btw)

I'm considering buying a rose called Abrcadabra...anyone here ever had those?

when I lived downtown my whole 'garden" was potted like that too, I still called it my garden. And everything, especially those first tomatoes, were yummy. Good luck with the roses, that is out of my league, I will stick to veggies and perennials!

Roses are about the only thing other than a few specific herbs and various types of hot peppers that I can ever manage to sucessfully grow myself.

I've grown Sterling Silvers (which are supposed to not thrive at all here in Oklahoma, but did spectacularly for me) Lincolns, Americanas, a couple of different hybrid multifloras (damnable things will take over if you aren't careful with them!) ... a few others that are particularly popular here in Oklahoma because they're both drought resistant and hardy. Abracadabras are not one that I've tried yet.

Hey kinda related to the topic... Im looking to grow my own chick peas (also called garbanzo beans...) I can't seem to find them anywhere other than the canned or dried variety lol. I know the canned ones won't work but what about the dried ones? Does anyone know of a website I can order them from?
Thanks :)

Blushes, pretty!
You're off to a good start.
I live in a condo so I don't have to do gardening, lawncutting, hedge trimming, and all the things you have to do when you own a house.
And we have plenty of people on the side of the road selling all kinds of produce here.
But, it was always fun growing stuff !
