We grew a huge variety of veggies & sold them at the farmer's market for about 5 years. Attempts to do so on a small scale now that we aren't vendors have not been too successful, though we have the perfect spot for a couple of tomato plants (which is one vegetable we really dislike the commercial variety of).
In our yard we also have about 14 varieties of citrus and 10 different fruit trees, plus 2 pecan trees, which have been a huge success. (We live in Central California where just about any kind of fruit/nut tree will grow). The only problem we've had is avocado trees - no matter what we do, the gophers demolish the roots - so we depend on friends & neighbors for freebies there!
