I need your suggestions!

That's right, I'm behind in my gardening. I'm behind in pretty much everything, but have allowed myself to angst over this for only the next 6 weeks, and then I'll throw up my hands.

But at least I've gotten to this stage on putting in the new square-foot garden:

Actually, it's a little better than that, as I have the landscape fabric down now and will be bringing in some brown rubber mulch between the (evenly-spaced) beds. Hope to have the dirt mix in by next Monday.

My question to you is:

What should I plant?

What are your favorite veggies to grow, and why? Do you have one favorite recipe for which you might grow an entire bed of one thing? Do you have a favorite veggie you could eat every day?

What veggies should I AVOID?

I await your suggestions. And they'll count on the contest. Hey, did someone say "contest"?
