We grow raspberries here and Andy planted some nice purple grapes that really took off. Of course there is the ever popular rhubarb which is almost impossible to kill. We had fresh chives growing in a big bucket so I hope that comes back this year. Since they put that garage in the back yard our garden space is severely cut back now.
VultureLvr45 - try planting chrysanthemums near the plants you don't want eaten by the bugs (well duh I guess that would be ALL of them, right?)
I put yellow and orange mini chrysanthemums in between my tomato plants back when we used to live in Ottawa. The neighbours had plants right next to ours on the other side of a chain link fence but they did not put the mums in.
All their tomatoes got earwigs in them but ours weren't touched. We finally had to let them in on the secret! (Maybe they thought we just liked the pretty orange and yellow chrysanthemums?)
I guess mums smell funny and give off a chemical that naturally repels bugs that want to eat all your good stuff.
