Last year we planted 2 peach trees and 2 pear trees. So far this year I have planted 3 blueberry bushes(I have more that Im trying to root, 2 of the pots had little ones coming up along the edges inside the pot so I cut them out and Im trying to get them started and their looking decent so far :fl), 50 strawberry plants(25 sparkle supreme and 25 ozark beauties), 2 semi-dwarf apple trees(a golden and a red delicious), 2 grape vines(one green/white and one red), and 3 thornless blackberry bushes(2 apache and one arapaho). Our 2 hives of bees should be happy this year with all those fruits to pollinate. :bee

I would also like to get a couple cherry trees and a couple apricot trees but I dont know if I will get those this year or not.

what have you planted/plan to plant/or would like to get to plant so far this year?

. . . some tiny little onion seeds & some teeny, tiny little snapdragon seeds . . .

. . . in containers of soil in the greenhouse . . .

But, the snapdragon containers need to come in and sit on top of my refrigerator where it is about 70F, day and night . . . There is about 6" of new snow on the ground, more coming, and the thermometer is supposed to drop into the teens tonight!

Welcome Chickenpoor. :frow
We have planted so much this year. We bought the land last summer so we're just starting. In the orchard-3 apples (jonathan, red delicious, and granny smith) 2 figs (brown turkey and celeste) an apricot (moonglow) a peach (redskin) a plum (morris) a cherry (bing) and a pomegranate...so far. In the garden- 300 onions, 300 garlic, 60' of potato, 50 snowpeas, hardening off 30 cabbage, 30 spinach, 30 broccoli (I'm behind on these) . Under lights indoors- 65 tomatoes, 45 peppers, @ 100 herbs seedlings, leeks, eggplant, tomatillos, and more I can't think of. I took 2 dozen cuttings from the wild dewberry down by the creek to move into a berry patch and am planning on taking cuttings from the wild grapes to start a small vineyard.

Spinach, 2 kinds of lettuce, and radishes today went into the soil. I have some onion plants I sowed to transplant and will move a few tomorrow. They are bringing my topsoil for my new raised bed in a few minutes so I may do some more stuff tomorrow if the rain holds off. I think I could probably find some broccoli and cauliflower plants at the farm supply.

Well both peach trees have a decent crop on them, one of the pears has a few on it the other one died and has new shoots coming up from the bottom of the trunk, the blue berries have a few berries on them as well as the black berries, I got a few handfuls of strawberries, and the grape vines are a couple of feet long (their still not long enough to attach to the top of the trellis).
