I don't stay home enough to grow fruit and veg, but there is about 2000 square feet of marijuana about 150 feet from my property line. Lucky for me, most of the time my place is upwind. If we get a NW wind in Sept or October, it smells like a skunk den.
Trees: apples, apricots, peaches, cherries, nectarines, pears, plums
grapes, asparagus

Most of the garden stuff isn't in yet. Its risky to plant freezable stuff here before Memorial day. It got down to 30 last night. We have a lot of stuff started in the greenhouse, though.
Before we're done, we'll have corn, watermelons, cantaloupes, peas, beans, onions, spuds, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, peppers, tomatoes, & probably other stuff that I've forgotten for the moment.
My wife is growing a BUNCH of flowers to sell as cut flowers. She hopes to corner the farmers markets this summer.

Mostly moss, mold, algae.......All that PNW goodness. Lol.

A small garden with sage, thyme, oregano, onions, beans, assorted flower pots that are blooming, and of course the lawn.
Feeling a bit envious of those who are growing such nice fruit and veggies, etc. (although we do have a small greenhouse for a few things).

Our "back yard" starts all around the house and goes for miles and miles - not certain where it would end. It grows wild land grasses, ponderosa, pinyon, juniper, cedar, aspen, fir and hemlock among other stuff - and everything from smaller rodents though prairie dogs, squirrels, raccoons, badgers, porcupines, coyotes, wolves, coatimundi, bobcats, mountain lions, javelina, bear, deer, antelope, elk, etc. Soaring above are the common SW birds plus three kinds of hawks, two kinds of eagles and buzzards. The slithering types are king and bull snakes and two types of rattlers. The owls just sit and watch over it all. Seems like right around the house we also grow some odd weeds and a lot of little odd-tasting balls of something - usually a lot of those here after the elk pass through.

In the Idaho yard. When we bought the place summer 2005 a big cow and calf walked out to within 20 or so yards of my wife and 20# Cocker Spaniel. The Cocker ran them off...

Easy fix. If the bees are unwelcome, contact your local beekeeping organization. Nothing better than free bees, especially if the queen can be caught. Beekeeper will probably even give you some free honey in exchange.

What's growing in my back yard? More than anything else....welcome bees! laugh Apiary is expanding this year.
Billy336: Rhubarb, Mule Deer, Ground Squirrels, Hungarian Partridge and a Crab Apple tree that bears fruit every third year or so (if we don't have a late freeze-up then we get fruit).

Chickenshit moose! Mine stare the dog down. Or the cows do. if they don't ignore him as in pic above. The calves haven't learned yet and charge him. (About 10 seconds following pic above)

Dog died. Gonna have to retrain the whole damned neighborhood once we move back and acquire another dog!

I know it. If I could only eat more game!

We don't do veggies up here much! smile. And those pics were taken 600 miles apart, moose on the Kenai Peninsula at our permanent home, and outside Kotzebue, above the Arctic Circle, where we have lived for the last 7 years on a "one to 3 year temporary" job, post retirement. We didn't get the memo.... smile. At least one ore to go..

I miss passive-greenhouse tomatoes..... I'm working on a floor-heated greenhouse at the home place.

Wife keeps getting in the way...but she eats the produce, when we have it.
