CA Bay Area garden-savvy folks, if you wanted to plant herbs and/or a few veggies (corn, tomatoes, cantaloupe, carrots) and you hadn't done a blessed thing up 'til now -- no seedlings in pots in a sunny room, nothing -- what would you choose to plant soon?

I would LOVE to know how to grow corn. When I had a big organic plot, we gave it a shot, and we must have been doing it wrong because it was YUCKY. Stick-your-tongue-in-library-paste bad. What might we have been doing wrong?

I hope somebody here knows. The first time we grew corn it turned out scrumptious, so I am no more knowledgeable than someone who's never tried. Different kind of corn?
