The problem NOW is - Holy smoke! What do I plant? Sadly, I am not a
big vegtable eater so after carrots, radishes, peas, corn, tomatoes
(for my husband) and pumpkins (for halloween!!!), I am "fresh" out of
ideas.


That sounds like plenty right there, especially if what you have is a
typical suburban plot. Do you eat salads? You might want to consider
lettuce, too.

I'd also put in parsley, just because it's handy to have it growing for when
you need a sprig or two. Parsley is also delicious. I had a friend who
thought I was very strange because I would eat the parsley on my plate -- he
considered it wholy a garnish. Sadly, he died of colon cancer at a
relatively young age, and I wonder if he had eaten more greenery like that,
he would have been better off.
