I have pretty good luck with 90% of what I plant. But, I have only had a few successful years for corn, so I have given up on it. I practice square foot gardening and corn requires to much land for little produce.

Broccoli
Bell peppers are way more challenging than they should be. But my daughter likes to eat them, so I grow them. ((Sigh))

We don't grow broccoli, but - weirdly - we have never had any trouble growing amazing bell peppers. |

Between the deer, rabbits, clay, excessive rain and short season, the only thing i have managed to grow in 10 years is a willow tree and dandilions

We can't grow anything that requires cold such as most stone fruits (trees), peonies, tulips, etc. although I do try.
We have trouble with beefsteak tomatoes because of fruit flies who sting them so they rot before they ripen. Same with watermelons and such. I think there's five different types of fruit fly so we put out fruit fly traps and that helps although there's still some that cause trouble.
I have trouble with taro, but maybe have a handle on it this time around.
Cucumbers haven't been easy, nor green peppers for some reason.

Where are you located? Peppers like heat, but I live in NY. Even when I plant seeds indoors it takes forever for the seeds to germinate and grow. |

I've never grown a decent melon. My sweet peppers were never better than OK.

I think one of our issues with the radishes might be that our soil isn't sandy enough.

Don't give up on the potatoes. Now sweet potatoes, is a whole different thing. |

I can't grow garlic. Which is odd since I live in what used to be a major garlic growing region (put out of business by China). It doesn't matter what I plant or where I plant it, the garlic will not form a bulb. It can be the for three years and there will still be the original single clove that puts up a nice plant every year.
