I grow a large garden every year along with a large herb bed. I enjoy the fresh food & don't use any chemicals on what I grow. It's much cheaper than buying produce for me considering I grow enough tomatoes to make plenty of various sauces to can & last the rest of the year & enough corn to can/freeze for all year - not to mention all the peppers, onions, squash, potatoes, carrots, beans, beets, cucumbers to freeze, can, store, ferment, dehydrate etc. I also grow a couple types of lettuce & cabbage, radishes, turnips, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, watermelon, lopes, pumpkins & celery.
For fruits I grow red & yellow raspberries (lots of black ones grow wild here), blackberries, currants, grapes,& blueberries. I also have 2 apple trees, 3 mulberry trees & 4 walnut trees.
As far as herbs go I grow aloe, various basil, stevia, comfrey, various oregano, various thyme, dill, chives, various mints, lemon balm, a few types of sage, rosemary, cilantro, parsley & as of this year garlic. I really enjoy the fresh food from my garden & couldn't imagine having to buy everything I grow!!
