This year I am growing chillis (not for the pets!), marigolds (the petals are edible), sunflowers (the pets will enjoy the seeds), lots of herbs, tomatoes, beetroot, radishes, sweet peppers and spinach. Maybe some others, I'm not sure yet.

Planting marigolds and nasturtiums near most fruits and veggies actually helps them grow. It's called companion planting and it's great whether you have a large garden or if you're tight on space.
Also, if you don't know, plant radishes little and often unless you plan on eating a lot of radish...just something I've learnt. I'm going to try spinach this year...I've got quite a few different things to plant so if you want ideas let me know!
