I’m not sure of all the plants I’m growing. I have melons, squash, berries, peppers, and tomatos. (Well I have more but those are the ones im not sure of) Which of those will I have to plant every year? I am using them all for fruit not just looks I know some plants come back but dont fruit. Oh and herbs like parsley oregono and basil. Thanks for the help.
Melons, squash, pepper, and tomatoes need to be planted every year. But it depends upon the type of berry that you have. Most are perennial and will come back each year.
In colder climates basil, oregano, and parsley need to be planted each year unless you take the pot inside for the winter. If you live in a warm climate, such as zone 8-10, then you can leave them outside.

I’m trying to find the gardening device that takes a lot of the work out of gardening and so far, I’ve had no success.
We are avid home gardeners and the thing that saves us the most labor is …. the application of pre-emergents at appropriate times. Pre-emergents keep seeds from sprouting and in essence that means NO WEEDS. (It would not be an approved practice of organic gardeners but does it save a lot of labor? YES!)

Lately I’ve been at home bored when I’m not at work and I want something to do to keep my occupied, so I was thinking of planting some flowers. What kind of flowers are good to plant during the summer months (considering the hot weather and such). I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth are of Texas if that helps. They will be in the shade of a tree but at some point during the day might get direct sunlight. I want colorful flowers but am not sure which will work… Thanks!
Impatiens are good, they like shade but can tolerate some sun also. They come in many colors.
Lantana likes dry hot weather and it will come back next year but it needs a little more sun.
