We like and grow pretty much everything that will grow in a temperate climate. A few fun things that you might enjoy experimenting with are

A Lettuce Mesclun Mix
http://www.botanicalinterests.com/store/shop.php
All of them are good so choose according to whether you'd like sweeter or spicier or more diverse mixes

Mesclun Asian mix
http://www.botanicalinterests.com/st...e=V&seedid=606
These can go in salad when young and stir fry as they get more mature. I also like using them young for soup greens.

Painted Mountain Corn
http://www.territorialseed.com/produ...anic_Corn_Seed
Good fresh and for a variety of dried uses.
Very beautiful. Will also produce well in cold areas.

Sunburst Squash
http://www.territorialseed.com/product/1102/429
Tasty from 2 to 8 inches. Good producer. Very atractived as a baby vegetable or stuffed.
