Choosing Vegetables to Plant

I know it's been forever since my last post, but the pile went cold and there really wasn't much to share in the winter months. We have started using our first compost bin again to get a second pile started, though.

Right now we are deciding what to we want to plant this spring. Here are my initial thoughts although I don't know that we'll have room for everything. :(

jalapenos
broccoli
cauliflower
black eyed peas
lima beans
green beans
spinach
tomatoes
cucumbers
carrots
herbs
onions?
potatoes?
garlic?



We are not going to plant yellow squash or okra because we are always given more than we can handle by friends and family. Might as well use the space for something else!

Are we missing anything? Do you think this is a bit much for a first year? I think I might be intimidating myself. :)
