Oooh, I've grown green beans before- they're awfully good- I even like them raw when they're fresh. You won't catch me "canning" though- too much work & it's too hot in summer for that.
I've grown wonderful (& huge) cucumbers before too, but as it was pointed out, you can only eat so many- I ended up selling most of them to my local health food store- I only grow organic, & they carry both certified organic & "local" produce.
I've had no luck with blueberries, but I miss the raspberries I grew for several years- incredibly sweet when freshly picked. Sadly, mine died out. I used to grow strawberries too, & a few blackberries- the birds got most of those, but they mostly served as a diversion from my raspberries anyway, lol. I've grown bell peppers before too, also melons (watermelons & cantaloupe).
I'm often guilty of "over-doing it" on tomatoes- I've raised as many as 37 plants one year- but I like having extras- yes, some to share & some to freeze & cook with too. So many good kinds of tomatoes- STOP! You're making me hungry!
