Here's what I planted (after I had taken the picture I wrote down LK = lacinato kale and SK = Siberian kale):
The ginkgo, pomegranate, cherry, and persimmon were seeds I saved from fruit from trees in my parents' yard in Decatur, Alabama, when we sold their house. I don't have great expectations for these, but we'll see. The Brandywine (heirloom) tomato seeds were from a huge tomato from a plant I had a couple of summers ago. The chard, beets, and kale are new seeds.
