I won't grow veggies my hubby dislikes eating, such as brussels sprouts, yams, beets and bitter melon.

Artichokes, asparagus, corn, potatoes, squash, melons, and any bean except maybe Scarlet Runner (since it is so lovely and attracts hummingbirds). These veggies are too dang space hogging.

Cool weather veggies don't do so well here: onions, regular cukes, peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach. My climate is too tropical for them to thrive.

My sunny area that I grow in is 10'x10' so I have to use it wisely!!
