Here are some of the different plants that I've been able to grow. I've killed quite a few, also. This South-East Texas climate is demanding and, like many Britons, I gave some of our traditional ones a go. Most of them went!

Sadly, lilac, rhubarb, raspberries and asparagus didn't make it. The plums were good for several years but then they croaked.

Tomatoes and cucumbers have done well, but, provided I move their location every few years.

Roses do struggle but I keep trying to have some of them around. Currently, Souvenir de Ste Anne, Cecile Brunner, David Austen’s Marie Rose and Duke are flourishing. My gingers, angel trumpets, pansies, coreopsis, and geraniums are great, as are the wistarias. The waterlilies are fine but the lotus will not bloom.
