Default Expanding what I am growing

Over the years I've expanded on what I grow in the gardens
Normal Veggies/garden plants: Cukes, Tomatoes, Peppers, Asparagus, Summer Squash, Zucchini,
Pumpkins -all different kinds
1 Almond tree which is quite large 10 years later, need to collect the nuts
I tried 4 Apple trees -never really grew much
Last year: 2 different grapes on a Pergola -1st sm bunches this year

New this year: Strawberries -over 100 plants - 4 varieties, will be moving a LOT of these...they spread
I planted 4 plum trees (2 kinds) in the Spring = 2-4 years to produce fruit
Just planted 4 Nectarine trees (2 kinds) = 3-6 years to produce
On all 8 of these I bought the larger "Supreme" trees =hoping to cut down on the time to produce
I planted 8 Blueberry bushes = 4 different kinds, 2-3 years to produce

Next year I will be planting Cucamelons...they look like small watermelons
They grow to the size of a grape -sort of like peas - 1 by 1 not in bunches, Official name: Melothria scabra
Kid likes them & I do....they are quite prolific, but very fragile
Grow them where you want them, do not try to transplant too much

Really wish I had started the New stuff this year when we moved in
But a lot of this was waiting for the addition to be built & landscaping
Still looking for new stuff to try.....but running out of room
