Not much last year (drought), but what I've got this year:
Okra (I even like it raw), Swiss Chard, 4 kinds of pears, 3 peach trees, watermelon, peas, corn, garlic, coriander (grows anywhere), asparagus (lots), half dozen squash plants, and most importantly: a squash - pumpkin hybrid that occurred naturally a few years ago (on its 3rd generation now, great stuff).
Planted but didn't come up: tomatoes, peppers, chamomile, cat-nip.
Have planted before: Green beans, lettuce (always bitter here, chard does much better and can easily be de-bittered with vinegar), zucchini (forgot to plant it this year), eggplant (no one liked it), strawberries, onions (forgot to plant this year), various types of peas, other types of watermelons, canteloupe (I hate it, others like it), cucumber, probably a few other things I'm forgetting.
Also, had wild blackberries here few years back: 5 times better than anything store bought. However, they weren't well taken care of and had actually migrated to a plot on the neighbor's yard (didn't stop us from grabbing buckets though). He eventually torched em however, and I couldn't save anything / seeds. Shame.
