bok choy golden berries
Swiss/Rainbow chard pickles
3 kinds of tomato plants 4 kinds of lettuce
pepper(s) 2 kinds strawberries
5 different herbs or so few other things
No harvest yet on the horseradish. Might be soon though since I am on my last bottle now of stash from North America.

I have never actually tried a golden berry, they are pricey here and wife/daughter really like them so I just leave them for them to enjoy. Never knew they are in the cherry family. Hands down the easiest plant in the system to grow.
Main problem I am having is with tomato plants. They are getting mildew on them from the base going up. Local told me it is the rain, so I covered them. Also started spraying them with powdered milk and water but it did little to help.

I believe it's actually more of the tomato family then the cherry, but they look like cherries just sitting on the ground, just make sure your daughter only eats the ones on the ground and not the ones on the plant, they have a alkaloid in them the same as green potatoes when they are under ripe, and yes they are very easy and prolific, just take a couple of the husked ones on the ground and drop them wherever you want more to grow and they will take off, bjpencil sent me some seeds 4 years ago and we have never had to replant

Very cool, thank you for the info on picking, or rather not picking them. Wife said they are kinda bitter so I never tried them. Not big on bitter.

if they are bitter I would say they are under ripe, they should be in the husk just like the pic I posted just laying on the ground, they do have a different flavor, I would say it is like a sweeter/fleshier cherry tomato, it's really hard to describe
