Personally, it's everything I grow. Tomatoes, green beans, peas, cucumbers, onions, asparagus & garlic. There's also that excellent feeling of if I don't feel like running to the store just for a vegetable and we've got everything else for dinner, I can just send the kids out to pick it. None of our peas made it into the house this year either because of the kids lol. We also have an herb garden with mint, chives, thyme, etc that the kids are free to graze whenever and it's especially great for those "I'm Hungry!" moments between snack & the next meal
Gardens are super underrated for their ability to get kids invested in how their food is made, and wanting to eat vegetables because they grew them.
