This will depend on where you live. What grows well in one area year round won’t work in another.
You will have seasons though for anything you grow.
It’s worth investing in a gardening book and finding some quality websites. You will save yourself money, time and heartache.
I used to be subscribed to a website that used to tell me what crops to plant when based on where I live, I’ll see if I can find it.

You may want to think about fruit trees, we currently have pears, lemon, and stone fruit trees in our suburban back yard. You need to check If a tree needs cross pollinating (as it will need a second tree) to produce fruit.
