I suggest you add edible-pod peas to the mix. I think it's
'Oregon Sugarpod' that grows to a surprising size and has an
enormous yield. Blanch them and freeze them, and you'll have some
very pleasant meals in the depths of next winter.

BTW, if you grow sugarpod peas, you have to pick them very often
so they are young and tender.
