We do (well... during the summer!).

I'm not sure what we'll plant this year but more than likely it
will be:

Tomatoes
Basil
Zucchini
Melon (maybe cantaloupe or honeydew)
cucumbers (they produced like crazy in 03)
Dill
Sage



As far as trees are concerned, when we first moved here (almost 3
yrs ago) we only had our huge evergreen out back and 3
"volunteer" trees that are at the very back corner of the
property. Since then we have planted a Wisteria tree, weeping
cherry, weeping Wisconsin willow, Golden Raintree (?), and I
think Rick recently planted a couple of Japanese Maples (freebies
through Arbor Day...). I'm hoping the Wisteria will bloom this
year. It has to be trained/trimmed on occasion so that it
doesn't resort back to being a vine.
