Veggies ;D. We have tomms, peppers, chilies, onions/shallots, little gem lettuce, butternut squash, pumpkins, oh and carrots. (Spuds on order) (runner beans courtesy of mother)
But what else would you recommend we try? OH wants some spring onions, I want to try cabbage (one thats not so much attacked by caterpillars cannot remember the variety), Kale, more lettuce. Any thing else? I only 2 veg beds too..... OH is making a smaller bed for the onions and lettuce.

You must try sweetcorn floydie, you can't beat the taste of home grown and it is very easy to grow.

Sorry floydie, shouldn't hijack your question.
Staying with the Brassica theme, Pak Choi is easy and rewarding too.
