Answer 2

Really great! My yard hasn't seen chems in over 45 yrs!
I've got 9 orange trees, 4 avacados (huge fruit that doesn't turn brown in the fridge when it's cut open), 2 peaches, 2 necterines, 1 plum, 1 Granny Smith apple, 1 kumquat, 1 sapotee, 2 lemon trees, I don't know how many fig trees, 7 pecan trees but the squirels get all the nuts. Tomatoes, basil, artichokes, watermelon, parsley, catnip to keep the misquitos away :) , cat mint, asparagus, 800 sq ft of irises, 1300 sq ft butterfly garden, 1000 sq st assorted lillies, lilac, over 60 rose bushes (all highly fragrant varities).

I'd ahve more, but I went away for a month & my roomates didn't water. They let lots of stuff die.

Answer 3

A little bit of everything. Along the front path I have lavender, caryopteris (which are blooming now), and salvia.
Next to that garden the black eyed susans are blooming along with a butterfly bush and some flox and mums.
The coneflowers and gladiolas just finished.
In the backyard the monarda (bee balm) is finishing up along with a crape myrtle.
Some sedum in the rock garden is in bloom and my annuals are still blooming. My impatiens are about 3 ft. tall. I start them from cuttings in the winter to give them a head start.
I try to have something blooming spring to fall but it's a challenge!

Answer 4

My garden grows herbs (chives, rosemary, basil, mints, verbena, etc) butterfly bushes, blue fescue and other grasses, coral bells, black eyed susans, gerber daisies, african daises, balloon flowers, white obedience, lamb's ear, blueberries, raspberries, tomatoes (red, yellow, cherries), cantelopes, zucchini, jap maples, willow trees, weeping type trees, passion flowers, and lots more. It's late and I can't remember anymore. Oh, I've got tons of potted plants on my deck! And tons of ferns (I live in the mtns).

But yet, I want more! Can't wait to have raised beds so I can grow lots of veggies.
