I personally like roses. Mostly Hybrid Teas with a few florabundas. Along with that a few clumps of babys breath. Makes for great arrangements. I plan to expand my rose garden next year....alot of work, but the benefits are great. Also have apple trees, but that can be hit and miss as far as how good the crop is especially if there's a late frost just when they start to bloom. Got rid of my vegetable garden a couple of years ago because it was so labor intensive plus we grew enough for the neighborhood. So I put my efforts solely into the the lawn, shrubs, and rose garden.

You have to see my melon patch Queen.....I have a little tiny patch in my front yard, about 5'x12', for melons/pumpkins.....I already took out a gord about 6" in diameter (so its small, but I think thats the type), and have another pumpkin/gord a little bigger.....but I have about 20 little melons of unknown origin....I know at least 3 are honeydews, but the rest could be cantelopes or any variety of pumpkins (I seeded my pumpkins from last halloween and planted a mixture, so there is a possibility of upto 7 varieties.....2 have already ripened as I said above)....once it starts to get color, hopefully by the time I get back from the shore in 2 weeks, I will take a pic and send it to you.

The real garden is 3 houses up behind my father's house....he has a lot more sun than us (ours is ringed by woods)....and we have been harvesting corn for 3 weeks and tomatoes and zucchini and squash and peppers like crazy for the last 4 to 6 weeks.....onions and radishes and peas are long gone.

Its been fun for us - first time we have had a garden together since I moved out after high school.....19 years ago.....damn, I am getting old. But its cool, now we have 3 generations working together, though the 5 and (now) 7 year old don't do much but get in the way.....but I don't care, they think they are helping, which they do sometimes, and that is all that matters.
