We have, in our small, uninteresting garden:
early potatoes in potato planters and various containers including one of the now redundant recycling containers that came with convenient draining holes.
strawberry plants in grobags
tomato plants - grobags
peas
various flowers sown along a border
sunflowers
weeds
an incredibly resilient bamboo plant that was there before we were
one huge tree and a couple of weedy spindly useless ones (except one of them is just strong enough for one end of the hammock)
weeds
some black stuff (I love black plants) in three former kitchen sinks (those big white chunky ones that weigh a ton) rescued from demolition
weeds
masses of ivy
an almost-black thing in a pot - sort of Japanese-maple-type leaves??????
some fleshy dark red things in a planter we made from roofbeams (demolition again, a different one this time)
loads more ivy,
bits of mirror,
lots more weeds
chives, parsley, thyme (we keep trying for basil, but no luck so far)
We have a small space of wasteland that could be a nice little garden but sadly never ever will because there are no gardeners in the family. We are so non-gardening that even the more decorative weeds we actually wanted to encourage have failed (no kidding, we haven't even succeeded in growing adventitious anything 
)
well that's a lovely post, and it sounds like the best and most interesting type of garden - a bit wild, a few areas where humans have tried to make order and beauty in amongst the wildernesses 
I have some basil seeds this year but not planted them (I won them!) and grew rosemary and thyme last year but they've died (I guess they were annuals; but I know so little about plants I wasn't expecting it ) We do have a good bushy supply of mint, waiting for those new potatoes.
The house next door has a beautiful garden tended by a gardener and grows: bramleys, russets, galas, pears of two types, rhubarb, beans, tomatoes, raspberries, strawberries, gooseberries, and glorious walnuts (I chopped some earlier which I collected from that tree three years ago, for a Waldorf salad. Being fresh out of waldorfs, like ) The lovely lady who lives there lets Jay and STPD and me take whatever we like at any time, not forgetting windfalls for Clyde 
Xmas Tree now much truncated as there is not room for a proper tree in the small space
Privet Hedge that I struggle to cut down as best I can , you really need an electic saw thing but I am not buying one to use once a year
Rose bush
Weeds - Nettles, Dandelions, various unidentified things with green leaves, and shoots from those evil trees that have maple type leaves and get everywhere
I just cut the weeds down to about 6 inches high or as near as I can get with the cutting implements I have available and leave it at that. This way at least I have weeds to stand on instead of mud.
I moved into a new house during the winter so I get to spend this year playing identify the plant.
So far I have ivy everywhere which is currently being stripped, berberis which has been hacked to a stump, budleia very pruned, forsythia even more pruned, a red acer and a green acer. Overgrown lelandii. Sigh.
Under the very very overgrown plant/shrub which is always in the garden of every house I've had and serves no purpose that I can see is a ceolanthys trying to be seen. I also have the most beautiful smelling wisteria out the back.
There are several other plants that I haven't got s clue to what they are and some that are hideous.
Perhaps I should start an identify this plant thread!

I'm sure mere ivy is no match for Patience, who once tore up her whole kitchen floor and replaced it single-handed, if I recall correctly! 
We had our first strawberries off one of my strawberry plants this week. They were lovely - and untouched by slugs (this will be because the slugs are too busy in their happy sluggy playground of Oven Glove Drawer
Potatoes in their pots and the few in the ground are bushy and coming into flower. Tomatoes looking good, all except for one poor stunted little plant that never got going, but has nevertheless thrown out two fine-looking tomatoes in an attempt to pass on its genes before it..... 
dies....
Some sunflowers coming up and a few other flowers from the seeds I scattered in the'flowerbed'. But I don't have the best of luck with flowers.
