I mostly grow vegetables, but I have a few young fruit trees and a lot of native plants/ woods around the property. My veggies are grown in raised beds that use a compost/ vermiculite/ peat moss mix that has been running for the last 5 years or so. I just top up with fresh compost every spring. I typically grow herbs, tomatoes, peas, lettuce, squash, zucchini, tomatillos, radish, carrots, fennel, beets, jalapenos, and shisito peppers.
I forgot to mention, I don't keep a mono culture lawn either. My lawn is a mix of grass, clovers, wild strawberry, violets, dandelion, buttercups, and quite a few other flowers that come and go. I always mow the lawn quite tall so that I don't knock down too many of the clover flowers.
