Most all of it should work during a good yr. All the rain and clouds, made it hell for alot of stuff this yr. Never can fully prepare for what Mother Nature might dish out.
A lot depends on how much sun your beds will get. A lot will depend on your soil type and how green your thumb is.
Pick what you like and give it a whirl. As things pop up, you'll start to learn about each plant, types of pest, diseases, etc..and you will get better and better.
Growing stuff just because it might do good, would get old imo.
Grow what you love and learn how to make it work.

Good luck to ya...…
Suggestion---- Do not use R.R. ties for your raised bed...….
They are choc full of toxic chemicals, which will leach into your soil....
My recommendation, is to use concrete blocks...….
Hope this helps...……..

Feel like this is some good advice here, I came from the cornucopia of Virginia where produce was an after thought. My beds will be in the afternoon shade. Willing to do what it takes to have a successful root harvest, spring/summer harvest. Fruit trees are something I’ve never done but would like too

Yard long green beans from burpee, eggplant and okra love the heat, you can plant them right now.
