     @Twoinchdestroya i am debating giving sweet potatoes another chance, i dunno why i don't like them i don't even remember tasting one, so i guess i'll plant some next year and give it a shot, i love to grow things, so even if i don't like it i can give it away

     @Zealist @Twoinchdestroya I'm doing nearly the same. Squash, corn, zuccini, pumpkins, peppers(thai/bird, new mexico chili, jalapeno, sweet, bell), strawberries, tomatoes (Beefsteak and cherry), peas, green beans, two varieties of lettuce, carrots, several types of short and mid day onions, garlic, mint, rosemary, dill, and thyme. Also, several types of flowers, but they're nothing really new.

     @Zealist @Twoinchdestroya Another problem I've found is that compost heaps attract animals (rats, mice, raccoons). I just use chemical fertilizers to enrich the soil.

     @Twoinchdestroya @Zealist Once it starts rotting, it really does not matter. All sorts of animals zero in on my back yard. I had to stop composting unfortunately.

     @Twoinchdestroya @GhostTown @Zealist I tried that last year. One problem is that the sun is overhead at noon, there is little shade to be had for most of the day. I grew sunflowers and corn to block the sun. but t ended up blocking the sun for the entire day for only a small part of the garden, and it also robbed the soil of nutrients killing anything else that grew there.

     @GhostTown @Twoinchdestroya @Zealist The environment my garden is in makes it harder to grow certain things, mostly because of high UV.

     @Elliptica @GhostTown @Zealist There’s a method of using larger leafed plants to help reduce the UV exposure, and in the shadier areas, that’s where you plant everything

     @Elliptica @Twoinchdestroya @Zealist Apple tree are easy to grow, even if you're total farmlet (like me).
     Just needs dense sun exposure and watering every 1-2 days.
     Strawberries can grow even without constant watering (but soil must be wet itself most of times).
     Watermelons and melons are much trickier, they need always warm soil and extra care.
