    Our seedlings were extremely disappointing this years and haven't shown signs of producing anything, however were still hoping, we have tomato, zucchini, squash and spaghetti melon (mind you I have never be able to produce with my squash type plants, they fecking flower but no fruit, Things that are and will do well are the Yellow beans, mint (like a weed) and parsley. The red, white and black currents, the raspberries, strawberries, wild strawberries and rhubarb.
    Sweden's summers just don't seem long or warm enough for much, even though we baby our seedlings inside for quite a while, nights just get so cool here.

    It is winter here in Australia. Only have silverbeet right now, as well as basil, thyme, rosemary, chives, mint, parsley, oregano. Also chokoes from a vine that climbs along many fences here- don't know where it originates. Passionfruit on our vine not ready to pick yet. We usually grow onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, squash. Would love to graow more but our garden isn't very big. Nothing tastes as good as homegrown! :)

    A friend on here gave me good advice on squash I'm going to try this summer, as we've always had that problem where it flowers and either no fruit or the fruit dies....when the male flower opens take a qtip and collect some pollen, and store in a ziploc bag, when the female flowers open, put some of the male pollen into the female flower.

    Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes. We've been doing those for years. This year we've also got cherry tomatos, zucchini, mini bell peppers, yellow onion, bicolor corn, butter lettuce, spinach, carrots, bush beans and baby peas. First time for most of the veggies, we'll see how it all turns out.

    I've always wanted a garden, or as they say in Great Britain, an "allotment."

    Potatoes, peas, strawberries, parsley and we have recently planted cauliflower and tomatoes.

    We are still learning - last year we managed to kill carrots, leeks and basil.

    We've got: lettuce, swiss chard, peas, beans, basil, broccoli, cauliflower, cocktail and cherry tomatoes, zucchini so far. I have everything but the beans and zucchini planted - hope to get those in today.

    I help my FIL garden too - he's got winter squash, onions, garlic, blueberries, raspberries, corn and I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch.

    We are just getting past the point where it frosts at night (hopefully past it), so our gardening season is just getting going.

    Corn, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, eggplant, strawberries and a variety of herbs - the mint has taken over! Currently on the search for some healthy raspberry bushes.
