The 'expanded' container garden this year has:

Tomatoes:

Striped Heirloom, Golden Jubilee, Hybrid JetStar 2000, Lemon Boy, Early-Girl Red, and Yellow Cherry.

I have them all in those upside-down tomato planters and they already are sprouting flowers. I'm interested to see how these turn out.

I have a hybrid bush cherry tomato and a 'sugar-snap' tomato planted in pots.


Peppers:

Fajita Bell, Early Green Bell, Cubanelle, Red Chile, Jalapeno, Hanenero, Also planted these 'Rainbow' peppers that change all kinds of colors. That waits to be seen.

Herbs:

Basil, Cilantro, Mint (the wife wants Mojitos), Chives, Oregano, parsley, sage, rosemary, and Thyme. (yes I know...:) )

Fruit:

I got this dwarf banana tree that I'm going to cultivate outside and bring in over the winter. Not sure how its going to work out...but I'll give it a try. Its worth the ten bucks... ;)
 
Roma, early girl and butler tomatoes.
Jalapeno, hot banana and red and green sweet pepper

First food garden we've planted since the kids got so busy with school, summer baseball, etc.
 
Tomatoes:

Roma, cherry, early girl, "normal" ones....

Peppers:

Cowhorn, Anaheim, Hot hungarian, Sweet Green, Sweet Red

Green Beans, Yellow Squash, Cucumbers, and Brocoli

We also have a blackberry, rasberry, and blueberry bush
 
I mainly grow tomatoes as we eat lots of them.

Tomatoes: Early Girl - ate 3 large ones yesterday sliced with fresh basil, olive oil, salt and pepper, on french bread with a little havarti cheese! Roma, Grape Tomatoes, Beefsteak, Better Boys
Corn
Habenero and Jalapeno peppers
Garlic
Herbs we keep going nearly year round - Cilantro, Basil, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, spearmint, chives, garlic
 
Never got around to planting a garden. Maybe next year....

Update: Just got done planting a small herb garden with 2 basil plants, mint, sage, dill and thyme. I also planted 2 heirloom tomato plants.

All herbs and vegetable plants were 50% off at the local garden center, so even though we're late in the season, the price made it worth it.
