Hi all gardening buds (pun intended, lol)

Of all the things you have growing in your garden(s) which could you not
live without? I know it's a toughie, but pick one . . .

Tomatoes. Followed by peppers and sweet corn.

But I take it you mean ornamentals?

Perennials:
Spring: Salvia 'May Night'
Summer: Asclepias tuberosa
Fall: New England aster 'Purple Dome'

Shade tree: sugar maple

Ornamental tree: Cornus florida (plain white flowering dogwood)

Huge shrub/small tree: Amelanchier x 'Autumn Brilliance' (or any other
Amelanchier).
