Default Fruit?

This year I want to grow more fruit. This year I'm already planing on strawberry's and the usual garden stuff but am looking for other types of fruiting plants to grow. Maybe blueberry's?

What are your favorite fruits and vegetables to grow?

Hey Whatever ,
I'm growin strawberries for the first time this year . I have 'quinault' and Sequoia'.
My folks have blueberries and they really make a lot of fruit for them(been tempted to get a few cuttings).
One thing that would be cool if your zone permits is muscadines . There are a lot of BIG varieties out there and they can be pruned to be sorta compact.
Another good one is the mayhaw .If you can grow em in your zone. They make great jelly and produce a lot of fruit . My father-in-law made a lot of wine this year and jelly as well. He only has three trees but gets a lot of fruit.
