Default Something Different to Plant?

I have a small garden. Every year I plant beefsteak and cherry tomatoes.
I've also planted red peppers once or twice. But this year I'm looking for
something different to plant. I live in Missouri. Can anyone suggest
something that is easy to grow and that I can consume almost everyday?
Thank you for your
suggestions.


I gave it up.
The Opposums, Racoons, Deer, Skunks, Rabbits, Gophers, Rats, Japanees
Beetles,Coyotes and the neighbors Horses made me surrender.
Prior to 25 years ago we got to harvest 1/3 of what we planted.
The critters don't even mind the dogs or lights.
Indeed my dog's best friends are Opposums. They eat out of his dish with
him.
Did I mention he's part Pit Bull.
I might try again if I can ever afford a night security guard and enough
insecticide to reapply every other day after the rain washes it off.
