I grow a large garden almost every year, both vegetables and fruits, I alternate it, one year I'll grow more veggies like green beans, corn, hot peppers, potatoes and preserve a lot of them canning and one year I'll grow watermelon, honeydew, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, broccoli...
I also have an apple tree and pecan tree and wild blackberries and wild raspberries...Also a big row behind the garden I plant large sunflowers for the sunflower seeds...In the winter I plant rye and and wheat to replenish the soil with vital nutrients for the summer crops...
Next spring I'm planting blueberry bushes...
I wish I could grow rice, I hear its a lot of work or at least know how to grow it, I eat rice almost every day and would be nice to grow my own...
