Aside from figs, what do you enjoy growing?

So far this year, I've got 5 varieties of heirloom tomatoes (Keeping them away from my figs this time. Lesson learned the hard way.), 6 types of hot and sweet peppers, bamboo (Phyllostachs nigra "Bory"), bananas (first time trying those), various medicinal and culinary herbs, cabbages, onions, collards, bitter melon, cucumbers, irises, taro, key lime, kumquat, mandarin, cannas, callas, Mexican marigolds, several ornamental grasses, annual and perennial flowers, heliconias, anthuriums, papyrus and tropical waterlilies. Whew! I've been busy.

Is there a problem with tomatoes and figs growing near each other?

I grow the "Italian trinity" (tomatoes, peppers, zucchini), along with an assortment of greens, broccoli, cukes, Jerusalem atrichoke, onions, garlic, herbs, grapes, apples, raspberries, strawberries, and cherries.

We have lots of things...

Seneca Plum
Karmijn De Sonnaville Apple
Dolgo Crabapple
Comice and Orcas Pear
Several varieties of currants and gooseberries, and one currant x gooseberry cross
Huckleberries
Tasmanian vines
A couple Quince bushes (fruiting, theoretically)
Lingonberries
Strawberries
Hostas
Couple rose bushes
Aronia
Raspberries
Grapes
Goji berry
A couple hydrangeas
Then there's the raised veggie beds and potato planters, misc bulbs and flowers...

And obviously figs ;)

Apples: Honeycrisp, Fuji, Lodi,Fireside, Wolf River And Chehalis & 2 UNK

Pecans
Crandall black currants
Grapes
  Thompson seedless grapes
  unknown grape variety [labeled Flame Seedless but has seeds and tastes better than flame seedless so no complaints]
Quince
Pomegranates
Three varieties of apples:
  Newtown pippin [I fear this was mislabled because they are mushy],
  Arkansas Black
  Hauer Pippin

Being funny:
Many (unwelcome) weeds on my lawn seem to grow just
by themselves, with no effort on my part...

On the bright side, my canary birds do love them dandelions!

A long list of veggies including zukes (early ones in pots, just about to bloom), tomatoes, chiles, Romano beans, corn... But never okra. ;)

It's too warm here for most stone-fruits, but I have one good peach (Babcock), one each stuggling plum and apricot.

I do have about 50 low chill blueberry bushes just ripening now. Yum!  :) :)

Plums, lots of tomatoes, potatoes, celery, spansih onions, storage onions, french shallots, lots of garlic, yard beans, green beans, fava beans, asain cucumbers, summer melon (fuzzy green italian one), asian squash, okra, sweet potatoe (for the leaves) bitter melon, bird chilies, pardon chilies collards, kale cabbage, mustards, corn salads, peas and this year planting nectraine and paw paws so far. 

If you've never planted Okra, its great when it's hot out, if it gets cold they stall and won't produce much, and they hate cold feet in the soil, this has been my experience anyways.

edit:  I forgot beets, carrots, radish (regular and daikon) and musk melons.

Each spring I plant a vegetable garden with snap beans, okra, tomatoes, cucumber, and southern peas. Some years I plant eggplant, watermelon, cantaloupe, and anythings new that catches my eye. In the fall I start all over again with snap beans, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts,  cauliflower, english peas, and onions. Because of our mild winters gardening is a year round hobby. Besides figs and more figs I also have mulberry and plan to put in some low chill blueberries soon.
"gene"

Goji berries, red currants,apple seedlings for rootstocks, heritage raspberries, rhubarb, papaya seedlings, trying to sprout noni and arctic kiwi seeds, I'll order cacao seeds when the lows get above freezing, granadilla, Jujube seedling in a pot, dragonfruit both red and white, unknown purple grape, and a peach seedling.
The vegetable garden will have the regular stuff in it besides tobacco. I just like the looks of tobacco.
I think I need to move south.

chivas - are you growing paw paw in ground? where do you buy one?

This will be my first year with exploding cucumbers:)

My apple trees should have some fruit for the first time, and I'll have the usual veggies.

In the middle of town and growing some bodacious deer, which are feeding on my apples, roses, hosta. Raspberries are behind a hurricane fence, so the are safe. Garlic seems not so tasty to the Cervidae.

I guess I am a general plant freak. Just keeping to Fruits and Nut.    Listing Vegetables and ornamentals would probably break me as I think in Japanese Maples alone I have around 50 cultivars and 200+ trees. Assuming all of my new grafts on to existing trees take on fruiting plants below will be pretty close.

10  type apples, 7 type Euro Pears, 6 type Asian pears, 5 type Japanese plum, 4 type Pluot, 24 type Asian persimmon, 7 type PawPaw, 22 type Blueberries, 6 types Pomegranates, 10 type bunch grapes, 11 type Muscadines, 3 type peach, 4 type Kiwi, 4 type JuJube, 1 Apricot,  2 type Sour cherry, 1 sweet cherry, Nanking Cherry, Bush Cherry, Goumi, Pineapple Guava, Gooseberry, 4 type Pecan, Chestnuts, Heartnuts, Black Walnuts, Carpathian Walnuts, Butternuts, Hazelnut hybrids, 9 type citrus, Blackberries, Raspberries, Mulberries, Che, Loquat, Mayhaw, Miracle Berry, Honeyberries

I am waiting for my paw paws to come, one from rhoras nuts in Niagra and one from tropic to tropic in vancouver.  I guess I am actually growing paypaya and guava as well, I will plant out the paypaya in the ground and see if it will produce, it's over a year old so I'm really hoping.

Strudeldog,
     I would love to know where you live and help you with your harvesting every year, you could pay me in produce.

Trees- 3 apple, 2 peach, 2 pear, several plum, apricot, nectarine, cherries(all semi or full dwarf) plus my neighbors mulberry tree
Veggies etc- tomatoes, hot and sweet peppers, potatoes, lettuce, swiss chard, onions, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, eggplant, several winter squashes, cukes, celery, several herbs, pole beans, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, horseradish, rhubarb, asparagus.
and the beat goes on.........

Hi Cody.
 I grow wild tobacco. (no not wacky tabacky) I believe it's nicotiana rustica.  It doesn't get to tall and has broad leaves and yellow flowers. I'm also going to grow another type of tobacco that I got from a seed giveaway on youtube. The guy didn't know what type it was. I saw his on his video and it was a tall one. Here is the link about of what it looks like:

I grow,

Oranges
Plums
Blackberries
Blueberries

In my vegetable garden I grow,

Onions
Carrots
Southern Peas
Water Mellon
Green Beans

It does not sound like alot but it sure eats up alot of time. Always something going on.

first time growing figs

3 poms

Apples
Peaches
English Walnuts
Pecans
Hazelnuts
Blueberries
Roses
