Growing almost all the typical garden vegetables, plus I like to add some new plant(s)each year as opportunity presents, also try to improve various cultivars using last year's effort as a guide. Sort of improvong by trial and error.

Actually in 2012 new plants will be blueberries and saffron. They are in the ground now.
