Herbs, usually basil, rosemary, cilantro, thyme etc.
I like them because they are easy to grow, they look and smell lovely out on the patio and I get big bang-for-the-buck (have you priced fresh herbs in the grocery store lately??? ). I try to use something from my little herb garden every night when I cook dinner.
Flowers! I love flowers and we have long winters here in the north. Come spring I cannot wait to see color. I love nasturiums, but grow many different kinds.

I have to agree with you. Flowers are my favorite things to grow. After that,
I'd say raspberries and tomatoes.
asparagus, plant them once pick them for ever,
soy beans, they are great for snack "Edamame ", too bad they don't have seeds at local store, order online getting expensive with shipping.
In-ground, various gourd type things: squash/pumpkins, watermelon, honeydew. Apart from the fruit, the blooms are awesome. Also, various herbs.
I also love evergreens, and keep tropical fruit trees as potted (indoor winter) plants: several citrus, cherimoyas, guava, a few other things. I haven't gotten them to fruit yet, but seeing green foliage in the dead of winter is a great thing. Citrus trees are dynamite foliage plants - the leaves can be used in teas or as a seasoning, and they smell great.
Tis truly hard to narrow it down, I normally have about a 6000 sq. ft. garden, my tomatos are always popular (I believe humans should live on a "Tomato Sandwich Diet" for at least 4 months out of each year.) My Sugar Baby watermelons and my cantalopes are also quite popular with my neighbors.
I love growing snap peas. I sowed my seeds on 9/12 and as of 9/26, they were 9" high already. I love plucking them off the plant and eating them raw, or steaming them.
