I Miss You Long Time

A long winter (which isn't over yet apparently) and I look forward to ideas for spring.  I should be turning the ground now and adding my worm poop to get the beds ready for March.  What to plant, what to plant?  Any ideas out there?  Herbs and tomatoes in some form are forgone conclusion.  I'm looking for things you have grown that tasted amazing and didn't die in the southern heat.  Talk to me people.  My seed catalog sits patiently for me to start marking it up!
