Don't think I'm as well organized as some of you, but I try to keep a garden, too, growing a little each year. The usual stuff. Started everything indoors from seedlings this year. I have grown onions and found they seem to like a sand/dirt mix for soil in which to grow, just like someone said about carrots.
I tried peas this year, hoping they'd climb a hemp string grid I tied up, but their feelers don't seem to be wrapping around the string as I'd hoped. Are they particular about what they'll climb on? Is that true of pole beans and cucumbers, too? Or do they nees structure to climb?
Herbs are sort of fun to grow, too. It doesn't take all that much at the end of the season to dry and replace what you might have purchased from the store and have sitting in the cabinet.
I also grow my own horseradish. This is a fun, low maintenance plant that gets super huge leaves and you can make your own super sinus clearing horseradish pretty easily.
