This thread is about plants that I tried this year and won’t try again next year as well as ones that did really well.

East coast North America, zone 8/9, rainfall 120cm.

*Updated with pics

A very dark pink to red Jamaican cherry being held over a very green citrus leaf (red pomelo). Both the berry and citrus leaf are covered in water droplets bc it was raining.
Looks like a pic taken from outer space. Bright yellow, petals frame the pic and the circle around a center that is dark maroon. There is a fuzzy staminal column that ends with a dark fuzzy stigma bordered with brilliant yellow anthers. The stigma is so dark red it is almost black. The flower is a Nkruma Tenten okra.
A purple curry leaf berry surrounded by native physalis still in yellow, papery, husks, katuk leaves, and huazontle leaves.
On a wooden cutting board is an assortment of leaves, peas, seed pods, cucumbers, radish, peppers and flowers.

30/ Jamaican cherry

Consistently fruits from spring to fall, and sometimes in winter if it gets enough light. It needs to be brought in when temperatures get below 40F at night. It is a water hog and it does need fertilizer if you want to have a lot of fruit. Provided fertilizer, it is a heavy fruiter and is popular with the pollinators. Does not do well in high winds, needs a sheltered location with a lot of sun.

A small round red berry hanging from a stem on a small green-brown thin branch. It has lanceolate shaped leaves opposite to each other on green and brown stems in the background.
