what kinds of vegetables do you grow?

What kinds of vegetables do you have in your garden and where do you live?
I currently have tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, onions, and a bunch of herbs, but I’m always looking for new ideas for plants that are easy to grow. I live in a suburb of Chicago, so the climate here is mostly moderate.

What would grow in poor sandy soil?

I live in southern California, and I’m working on amending my soil with home grown compost (I won’t use the stuff that comes in bags), but I still have some areas that are the poor sandy soils of this region. I’m going to eventually turn this into a vegetable plot, and I already have native plants. What kinds of vegetables, herbs, or even cover crops might grow well here to start out with?
Thanks for any help.

What were the trade routes and what kinds of vegetables did they grow and where?
