    This is some of the stuff I'm growing in my garden so far. Some other stuff I will be growing are tomatoes, radishes, garlic, and okra. I will probaly find other stuff to grow too. :-D

    I planted a lot of Bluecrop blueberries. I will be putting bird netting over all the berries since they already have berries on the plants.

    This is Apache thornless blackberries I planted this year. That's my favorite berries.

    I don't know what kinda rose this is since it didn't have a tag on it but it looks really awesome. But it is a tea rose.

    I'm growing Bowl of Beauty peonies too. I planted them about 3 or 4 years ago.

    Looking good. Thanks for showing us what you have growing.
    A couple years ago, my brother offered to buy some blackberries. Silly me said I wanted the biggest ones... Kiowas. Why didn't I think of asking for the thornless???
    :D

    Thanks. :-D You really should try the Apache thornless. I did a ton of reading to find out about those. They grow really good in hot climates and they have a rep for being the best tasting thornless blackberries.

    I've never seen a peony like that before-absolutely stunning!

    I'm also trying okra again this year.

    My Peony looks nearly like yours. I don't know if I have the tag anymore but I will go look today.

    Thanks for all the cool replies and seeds and stuff! :-D

    @ Kiasmum. I got Clemson spineless and Emerald okra seeds this time and if it grows like it did last summer, I'll have tons of fried okra. :-D It likes hot weather. What kind are you planting?

    @ Eileen. Yeah they are amazing and they are really easy to grow. A dog pulled it out of the ground the first year and I thought it was dead. But when I watered the garden a week later, it was growing right there on the ground so I planted it again.

    @ Waretrop. That looks really awesome! I hope you can find the tag because I wanna grow some like that.

    @ Cayuga Morning. Yeah, I read that it was still really cold up there. It's hot here so everything is growing good. Let me know how yours does.

    I was really rushed when I posted and I forgot about the Brandywine and Beefmaster tomatoes. My tomatoes last year were fail :( but I'm trying again this year.
    Some other stuff I got seeds for are a lot of different herbs and peppers. I'll be planting Serrano chili, Cubanelle, Long thin Cayenne, Sweet Banana, and California Red Bell peppers. I wanna try brown Habanero and Poblano peppers again too because they grew really good last year. :-D

    Great garden! You certainly will have plenty of berries with those blackberry and the blueberry plants.
    Your rose may be "Perfect Moment". I'm not sure, but the Perfect Moment is very similar to yours.
    Last year was hard for tomatoes. Most of our neighbors lost theirs, or had very few tomatoes. We had an abundance, two crops from the same Celebrity plants. You may want to try Celebrity as a main crop tomato--good tasting, good for canning, just not huge!

    @ Marlingardener. Thanks for that! :-D I'll google Perfect Moment and check that out. And yeah, you are the 2nd member that talked about Celebrity tomatoes so I wanna try those too. I don't care how big or little tomatoes are, I just want them to taste awesome. :-D

    @ Philip Nulty. Hi! :-D Yeah, I asked dad to get some radish seeds but I forgot to tell him what kind so he bought those. I can't wait to find out how they taste because I like radishes! And salsa and that's why I'm growing peppers.

    Thanks Bunkie! :-D Thats the first flower I ever tried to grow.

    The first plant I tried to grow was horseradishes and I have tons of that now. I even know how to cut the roots and make horseradish. This is a picture I took today of some of those. The biggest leaves are about 8 inches long already.
