They are from the farmer’s market and I think we will actually eat all of them instead of letting them rot in the fridge like we normally do.

Do you have any other suggestions for stuff that’s much better if it’s home grown? I’m going to build a small garden soon. The only other thing already on my list is some greens and maybe bell peppers, but that was a nostalgia request from my partner.
Edit: All these suggestions have changed my planned garden from 8x4 to 8x16. The missus will be pleased.
Tomatoes, strawberries, onions, carrots, peppers, and green beans were what I recall growing as a kid and they were all vastly superior to grocery stores.
We also had a local farm which was comparable to home grown nearby, which was nice when we had the occasional bad crop.
Carrots. Good carrots are so much sweeter than story bought.
Irregularly shaped and colored carrots are almost always better than the uniform monstrosities sold in stores.
Cucumbers! I like store bought cucumbers just fine but fresh cucumbers are not just inoffensive crunch water. They have a melon taste which is sublime.
With all these suggestions I might need to build two planters after all!
Green beans.
GreenYellow wax beans you mean.Personally I find home grown potatoes delicious but they are a lot of work.
We usually planted green onions, and various herbs too.
