Vegetable crops that have done well for us are tomatoes, peppers of all sorts, eggplant, okra, green beans, squash, onions, garlic, various winter greens, and a variety of melons. One of our best producers is the Texas Sweet variety of onions. I love rose gardening the best. I have many different varieties. My favorites are the antiques, and a few of the more modern floribundas and grandifloras.
Miniature roses are fun to grow also.
I have some hybrid teas for my cutting garden. Still, nothing beats the scent of some of the old antique garden roses. A rose has to smell like a rose. I fertilize my roses twice a year using Rose Glo, an organic fertilizer, and a shovel full of compost, called Back to Earth. I fertilize in the early spring just after pruning, which I do on February 21, and again in the early fall, for that last fall flush of blooms.
