Drop a little parmesan on top of that and stick it back in for a couple minutes to brown on top...

Okra and Jalapenos.

We also grow beans, peas, taters, maters, lettuce, onions, spinach, squash, and mellons and i might be forgetting some but the Okra and jalapenos are the ones I look forward to the most.

Oh, and raspberries and strawberries. Nothing like fresh berries.

Didn't know berries count and maybe ours don't because they are not in the garden..We have all wild or feral raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries just out behind our garden and around our lot. Between those and the random patches at my wife's parents we normally have plenty. A year ago I think my wife made 45-50 jars of jam. last year with the drought...6.

Grow potatoes, we harvested 200lbs last year.
Moving now, but when we are settled, spuds are going in the ground.
Look up “Grand solar minimum” dig into what’s gonna work in yer area.

x2 Rhubarb.
Getting my first crop of the thornless blackberries I planted last year. They only crop on 2nd year canes so the first year is just growing the primacanes ready for a crop the following year. I've been amazed with their vigor and cropping potential.

Pumpkins, potatoes are the other things I like to grow. Things that store through winter or can be pressure canned to give longer supply time.

Asparagus
Variety of chilies and peppers
Tomatoes
Arugula- great on salads, sandwiches and scrambled eggs

I need to look into horseradish. I love that stuff.

 

[FLATHEAD]

I got wild dewberries that show up before the black berries.
All growing wild around and on my property.
Pick some of them and throw in a bowl of vanilla ice cream and
a wee bit of half and half, kinda mush it all up like a milkshake..
OH MY!!!

I forgot about the Arugula, it grows very well through the winter here.
Great to have.
I mix it in with Kale and Spinach.

Satsuma Oranges…oh how I love them and will yell at my wife and kids for trying to pick them too early!

I know it’s not a garden but my two trees get much love. I have been wanting to start a garden with peas and zucchini.

I have a couple lemon trees I tend to at work. Giant lemons! Larger then most oranges.

Ohhh I forgot about the muscadines! I have some in my side yard that I like to grow and pick.

 

[FLATHEAD]

I have one Satsuma. Those things are great!!
Wife juices them, keeps a pitcher in the fridge.

Bell peppers and chili, jalapeño peppers are our favorite, but seem so finicky to get them to grow in size.
This is is PA, good soil, water daily and full sun.
What’s the secret for peppers?!

Move to where it’s actually sunny haha. I grow chilis and peppers here in AZ year round.

Fun to pickle, plant is good looking. Pickled okra with a couple hot peppers in to give it some heat and some garlic is good stuff.

Put up pickled okra every few years (at least 40 quarts- still have most left from 2019). Same with cucumber dill pickles (at least 40 quarts as well- I'll eat one tonight before bed).

In 2020, I grew and delivered 800 lbs of ripe red tomatoes (with another 400 lbs. of blems I canned, and another 200 lbs of green picks- day before the freeze). I sell wholesale to a CSA, but can anything not "perfect" so last year I put up about 80 quarts of salsa, 60 quarts of merinera, and another 40 or so of fresh pack.

I have a high tunnel (24 x 72) so I have to rotate crops and last year my MASSIVE okra didn't produce SQUAT!!! 80 FULL 10ft plants didn't produce 100 lbs-- BAD seed!!!

I took last year off with plans to move (then didn't). But glad to have it all put up (and an herb spiral right out the back door

I'm STILL eating basil blended with olive oil from SIX years back. I just rinse the freezer burn off and it's super delicious to this day. I freeze it in ice trays.

My asparagus was planted in 2014 and we get to eat it for SIX weeks in spring before I let it go. I also can a few pickled asparagus as well. Gardens are awesome!

Well gardening season is coming upon us again soon, I've started a few things in the greenhouse with heat and under the grow lamps in preparation for the 2022 season.

What are some of your favorite things to grow? looking for more obscure/uncommon things as well, I'm in zone 6a but have greenhouse with ventilation and heat so I can grow a fair variety of stuff.

Some of my favorites to grow are tomatillo and a variety of hot peppers, ghost, Thai dwarf, Carolina reapers etc.. I always grow the standard stuff as well but I find it more enjoyable to grow out the obscure stuff you can't find at your local supermarkets plus they always seem to sell better at the local farmers market.

Tomato's by far.
