I live smack in the middle of the desert in the southwest US.. I had spinach
in my garden very early this past spring.. it's a great cool weather plant.
I didn't water it any more than my other veggies, which is about every other
day when I walk around with the hose.. I currently still have tomatoes,
several kinds of chiles, cucumbers and planted my fall crop of spinach just
last weekend. Also have tons of various herbs. Cooler weather can usually
help deal somewhat with watering issues.

spinach is great if you like it and is usually easy to grow..

Spinach requires a lot of watering, I think, but you made a good
point.

Maybe I will also plant some peppers there also.

I am on a low carb high fat "paleo diet". In the front yard, we have a
concrete retaining wall that is a boundary of our land. Beyond the
retaining wall, 3 feet lower, is a public sidewalk. I rented a monster
tiller recently, and tilled a 24" strip of land immediately adjacent
to the retaining wall. (did a lot of other tilling to plant a lawn
elsewhere).

My desire is to plant some pretty, high fat, low carb, edible plants
that are not grains.

I live in Zone 5 (N Illinois).

One plant that I can think of is sunflowers. Maybe I will throw some
corn into it, for looks and for other members of my family, but I am
looking for other suggestions.

Thanks!
