16 blueberry bushes, 11 patriot, and 5 ka-bluey. I hope isn't too early. I actually had to move some ice out of the way from the snow storm we just had :P By the end of the day though, all the snow had melted.

I planted purple potatoes and two elephants ears. The elephants ears are in a pot and the bulbs were as big as tennis balls. =D

I started out with a 75' x 155' and a very old house. The house was moved there around 1957 or so. It came completely furnished including bees in the wall, rats in the attic and a sprinkling of termites for good measure. I did this in 1976 when I was just 18. I paid $10,000 for it. $1,000 down and $100 per month on the balance at 0% interest.

A few years later I bought the lot next door for $7,000. It was the same size and now my property was 150' x 155'.

In 1983 my mother past away and left me with half ownership in her house which was next door. I bought out my brothers half and now my property was 225' x 155'. In 1991 I had a house fire in my mothers old house which necessitated it's destruction and removal. My original house was also taken out so that I could join the properties and build a larger house.

In 2010 I bought my last lot and my property now stands at 300' x 155' which is probably where my growth will stop. Interestingly I had been trying off and on to buy this property since 1986 but could never come to terms with the owner. When we finally did come to terms we discovered he was my wifes cousin that she never knew. We paid more for this last lot than we did for the first house!

The property is not all that large, a little over an acre, but with carefull planning I am able to grow many things. I am quickly running out of room for large plants and trees though. It won't be long before my attention will be turning to filling in the smaller areas.

Sorry for the long response.

Excellent! Yes, a well managed layout will give you more room than you can imagine.

Planted some ferns, alpine wallflowers, pulmonarias, gaillardias creeping jenny, and trailing coleus. Still have the 1 gallon pots of Iceland poppies, phlox, iris, coral bells, salvia and snaps. I also have a mess of pansies to put around trees for Mom. I finished the replanting after dividing of my hardy water lilies and water lotus. The lilies are back in the pond; the lotus has to reroot first.Am waiting with barely concealed anticipation for May 1 so I can move out my bananas, palms, elephant ears, philodendrons, cannas and caladiums.

Then come the patio plants- tropical hibiscus, mandevilleas, bougainvilleas, gingers, plumerias, other palms, angel trumpets, seemanias, Desert Roses, cacti, etc. I'll get my living room, family room, one bedroom, and basement back!!

We grow potatoes every year but we plant those in the fall. They dont like hot weather so i hope its not too hot this summer. We never plant them in the same place either since that can cause worm problems. and we never plant them where we plant tomatos. We cut them up so theres 1 or 2 eyes on each part then let them dry up for a day. We do that so they wont rot. then we dig more than a foot into the ground to make sure the dirt is loose and we add some potting soil or peat moss. the ground needs to hold water good. We cover them up with 2 inches of dirt and make little hills around them. Then we just watch for bugs and wait 3 or 4 months to dig them up. We do that with our hands so we dont hurt the potatoes.
