basil
mint
rosemary
sage
thyme
italian parsley
tomatoes (just picked my first ripe one yesterday)
bell peppers
lemons
limes
oranges

At my old house in addition to the list above: figs. I have to put in some fig trees here.

Rosemary is used as bedding plants here because it is drought/heat resistant and the deer don't eat it.

Let's see...

tomatoes -- roma, slicing and cherry/grape types (various kinds)
peppers -- usually some yellow bell or red bell, plus a sweet wax (Hungarian usually) and a couple of hot varieties
various greens, usually some mesculun, arugula and other mixed greens and bitter greens
radishes
peas
carrots
garlic
various squash (butternut and acorn usually)
cucumbers (mainly slicing)
basil
rosemary
watercress
thyme
oregano
parsely
figs (more bush-like here as it is a variety that is more cold tolerant)
blueberries
raspberries

We have done other things in other years (just not this year) including various heirloom tomato varieties, pole beans, dill weed, mint and catnip).

LCC, where do you get your onion seeds? I'd love to try growing some.

I ripped out the tarragon and now grow only tomatoes, dill, rosemary, and sage. I don't know why I continue to grow tomatoes. Mine are good, but I can buy better in the market.

Rosemary
Oregano
2 types of sage
Chives
Raspberries-mostly for ground cover. Rarely get to eat them. The birds and squirrels are well fed, however.
Strawberries-see raspberries.
Cilantro
Catnip
Used to grow tomatoes. Board-O's comment on tomatoes is true for us as well. In season, I just stop at one of the dozens of family run farm stands along the road for tomatoes that are far better than what we can grow on our heavily shaded property.

Planted lately:

more yellow & red tomatoes
more young onion
yellow & red peppers
garlic

TJ, the onion seed were given to us by the in-laws. I am not sure where they bought it, I will ask them.

Re, cucumbers (for those that grow these): how long before matures? Thanks!

winebrat: is it hard to grow passion fruit? Is it a lot of maintenance? I would love to grow some if not a big pain. Thanks!

Grows like a weed in Cali weather. I cut it back every Sunday.

Please do. I am curious to see if I could grow some. I wonder if I could still get some in the ground now and expect some onions by fall.

That's great, winebrat. I wonder if I can grow it here in the East Coast. I love the fruit, it is rarely available in our stores & expensive. I will try looking into it (if it will grow here in the East Coast).

Question here. All my herbs grow extremely well except for dill. The dill is sparse. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

No ideas, Board-o. Dill is a freaking weed down here and can get full and tall unless you harvest and manage the growth constantly.

Do you cut it back? If so, how do you do it, by cutting the higher stalks and letting it widen?
