    So far this year, just asparagus. Love the fresh asparagus.
    Tomatoes, peppers and a few other plants are about ready to get transplanted, just waiting until after Easter weekend.

    This year I've been more focused on taking plant matter / weeds out than putting it in so it's mostly my perennials and the fruits that come back year after year. Lots of sweet potatoes in 3 varieties, apple bananas, Sugarloaf White and Maui gold pineapples, purple and green guavas, mulberries, Hawaiian chili peppers, jalapeños, and bell peppers, eggplant, Okinawa spinach, regular spinach, macnuts, Malabar chestnuts.

    Remember that sack of black beans that I ordered from Amazon? I was able to get a lot of bean plants from that experiment!

    Cuban Oregano, lavender, peppermint(in a container) mullein, sage, rosemary, citronella, lemongrass, 5 different kinds of ginger, 3 kinds of turmeric, coconuts, avocado's, dwarf oranges, grapefruits, rollinia delicioso.

    I know I'm leaving things out, but I'll add them as I find and remember.

    Oh! My caffeine corner is thriving: Kona coffee, green tea, cacao, Yerba mate. I'll try to remember to add pictures. I'm hoping to get some lychee, breadfruit (ulu), calamari, tanglos, lemondrop mangosteen(this may take a few more years to fruit), ice cream beans are supposed to fruit this year, and hopefully mountain apples, soursop, jackfruit, and mamey sapote.

    Few bell peppers, few onions, few potatoes so far.
    Haven't put much effort into a garden this year, still in recovery and bought a wee bit of land that needs cleaning up.

    Well, just rebuilt the carb on the tiller. Seems it's leaking gas straight into the crankcase.
    Tilled up a 20x40 plot yesterday. Today I planted 2 rows of carrots, row of radishes, 3 rows of beets.
    So it's half planted. Tomorrow is Turnips, brocolli, beans and maybe some sugar snap peas.

    Also tomorrow tilling up a bed for butternut squash and acorn squash.

    Random
    Raised beds 1,2,3 maybe 200 red onions and 200 yellow onions.
    Flower bed in the front has tulips removed and now all in wild flowers for the polinators.
    3 muck buckets with potatos
    3 muck buckets with strawberries
    smaller containers with herbs and lettuces.

    Main garden:60x60 (not yet fully tilled VTjr shovel tilled lol)
    two tires with Rhubarb that's almost ready to harvest.
    potatoes everywhere.
    Random strawberries that escaped from somewhere and now growing there.
    that garden will have zucchini, more beans and peas as time goes along.

    I'm going to be building a farm stand over the next few weeks to extract additional dollars from the local yuppies in addition to the free range egg addiction they are hooked on now.

    oops, i noticed that there are a bunch of tomato plants on the dining room table and on the front porch. Methinks I'm going to be planting those as well.

    I hear ya. Down here in the SE mitten we were having lottery numbers like 28, 83, 31, 62, 40, 53. We lost about half of the sprouted potatoes due to the hard frost and snow and ice.
    Neighbor farmer always says he don't plant til mothers day. And sunday they were planting. Corn is their crop of choice this year .. which means I don't plant corn this year due to cross pollination. Couple of years ago, that sweet corn was terrible. Nothing sweet about it.
