Well I've always liked to keep a garden but I've never been able to have more than a tiny one, or a container garden. I love the thought of having a really big garden in my back yard though, and now we're in a place where we could do that!
I'm not super big on flower gardens...though I would like to landscape my yards nicely with no or low-maintenance trees, bushes and perennials suitable to the region...but I love veggie gardens, and fruit trees and bushes.
This next spring I'd like to plant:
tomatoes
pumpkins
peppers
peas
spinach
We'll see how I do with that and then move on to other things hehe

Squash you just cant go wrong with them, either you get enough to feed the whole town or you just get a few.
When the kids were little I grew every vegetable we ate, at times I miss it, and then when I think about all the weeding etc I dont miss it one bit
I grow tomatoes, peppers, peas, lettuce, spinach, chives, parsley, Cilantro, lemon grass, rosemary, basil, and mint.

The only herb that gave me fits this year was my basil. It was so finicky as to water/light/shade requirements.

In my garden? Nada. My wife is the gardener. In addition to a cherry and apple tree, she grows zucchini, tomatoes, a few stalks of corn, tomatoes & cherry tomatoes (BLT's last night for dinner...YUM!!), carrots, raspberries and now she thinks some blueberries have popped up.
