Hi, everyone!
I'm a new-ish backyard gardener in the Lakewood area of Dallas. Right now, I'm confined to a 10'x15' patch, but we're on half an acre, so the expansion plan over the next few years is pretty rad. :) I'll try to get some pictures up in the "Show us your Garden" thread.
Between the patch, pots and trees we have the following currently in the ground:
- Okra
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Tomatoes
- Corn
- Eggplant
- Squash
- Zucchini
- Pickling Cucumbers
- Slicing Cucumbers
- Strawberries
- Jalapenos (Jumbo for poppers and heatless for the kids)
- Bell Peppers
- Gypsy Sweet Peppers
- Pears (I *think* Bradford, but I need to get someone out to look at them.)
- Pecans
- Mulberries
- Muscadine Grapes
- Blackberries
- Radishes
- Various Herbs
We've had the chance to eat/cook with everything except the blackberries and grapes, which I picked up this spring as dormant vines. We'll see what happens with those. :)
Haven't had a chance with the pears yet, either. We moved in last spring, and while there appeared to be a bountiful harvest, the squirrels got every single one!

Welcome to the forum tpampel! You have a lot of things growing for sure. Those blackberries will be putting out next year and you will be wondering what to do with all the fruit!
