I have a 30X30 veggie garden, full sun part shade, very sandy soil in lovely central oklahoma 
New stuff growing 2011:
Cantaloupes - I heard good things about “ambrosia”
Sugar Snap Peas
Lettuce got free “Black seeded Simpson” from bakers creek giving it a try
‘Lemon’ cucumbers
‘cosmic’ carrots
Onion – tried last year but im calling “do over” I spaced them too close and didn’t fertilize
Herbs -
Also WSed some poppies for the first fime.
All the Rest:
Beans – pole and bush
Cucumbers – direct seed
Pepper – transplants, Jalapeno a must
Tomato – transplants, ‘celebrity’ last year did wonderful
Okra
Turnip – will wait for fall
Carrot – making my own seed tape this year
Radish
Squash/Zucchini – might try the floating row cover thing and had pollinate. The squash vine borers hit last year and wiped out my whole crop.
I also been researching blueberries. It sound like a good long term project to start. We do eat a lot of blueberries. Any recommendations on where to buy some? Cook's garden seemed okay. I know Rabbiteye varieties are recommended here.
I'm already thinking of scaling back some due to the severe drought here in OK. As im typing this its 75 degrees out and high fire danger.
