Gardeners, what are you planting this year?
 
We've been in our home a bit over two years now and are finally tackling some of our garden areas.

Last year, we planted some sage, oregano, and rosemary... the rosemary really took off, and I think the sage and oregano will do fine.

This year, we've added a couple blueberry and raspberry bushes. In a couple stone planters (because they wouldn't survive the harsh winters of Alabama), I've got a new Meyer lemon tree and I'll be adding a Kaffir lime tree next week.

The wife wants to add some strawberries in the back, and this fall I'll add some bay laurel and probably some garlic.

I'm also trying to decide if I want to remove the solo fig tree (I think they're kinda ugly) or add another one (I do like me some fresh figs, but they're not self pollinating).

Home gardeners, what's on your to-do list?

Just 'maters and peppers. I had jalapenos and a habanero last year, may add a couple more varieties.

I planted cherry trees
To keep the birds out of the cherries I planted mulberry and service berry trees
I planted Fig trees
To keep the squirrels out of the Figs I planted a Peach tree
Planted apple trees and so far so good
In the garden I have tomatoes, peppers, watermelon, pumpkin, chives, lettuce, carrots
To keep the rabbits out of the garden thankfully there is a hawks nest above and a cat below
I also have grapes, persimmon tree and black berries

I'm thinking strongly about a pecan tree, herb garden and a lot more berries

Hmmm. I always thought to get a burning AIDS tree you'd just set a regular AIDS tree on fire. I had no idea there was such a varietal as a burning AIDS tree.

Couple of years ago I had a jalapeno plant in a pot next to a Thai chilli pepper plant in a pot. They cross polinated each other and I got red jalapenos. Interesting to say the least.

It's not a flaming fire aids tree but the sap burns like the clap
