I'm making the arboretum/greenhouse for my starship and I need some ideas
for some vegetables. Some links to sites with gardens and veggies would be
great.
Thanks!

Carrots, green and red apples are available in Belville sets.
Of course one of these carrots would feed a minifig for a couple of days.
Genetic engineering works wonders.

Jon,
David Eaton has a vegetable garden/farm in his latest town. Simple, but I
think it looks pretty good. It is about halfway down the page at this link:

Using the newer 3 leaf pieces that came in a bunch of the ninja sets, as
well as the 3 pronged flower pieces (minus flowers), you can make a really
neat corn stalk.
Ingredients:
2 green 1x1 cylinder bricks
2 green flower bases
2 green 1x1 three-leaf cylinder bricks
6 yellow 1x1 cylinder bricks
Directions:
Place 1 green 1x1 three-leaf brick on a baseplate (or other base)
Stack one green flower base on top
Next, place 1 green 1x1 cylinder brick on the flower base
(stalk should be 2.33 brick high now)
Attach the 2nd green flower base to the 1x1 cylinder brick
Stack the 2nd 1x1 cylinder brick on top of the 2nd flower base
Lastly, place the 2nd three leaf brick on top.
Now, slip one yellow cylinder brick on each of the "prongs" of the flower base.
Your corn stalk should be about 4.66 bricks high.
Feel free to modify!

Using the 1x1 round plate with three leaves (not the newer 3leaf pieces
found in Ninja sets), and 1x1 round plate with flower prongs, you can make
tomato plants fairly easily.
Ingredients for 1 Tomato plant:
2 green 1x1 round plate w/ three leaves (found in pirates sets)
2 green 1x1 flower bases (minus flowers)
1 green 1x1 cylinder brick
6 red 1x1 round plates
Directions:
First, place your three-leaf plant on a base
Next, stack your flower base on top
Stack your green 1x1 cylinder brick on top of the flower base
Repeat steps 1 and 2 by stacking them on top of the 1x1 cylinder brick
Lastly, hang your red 1x1 round plates on each of the "prongs" from the
flower base.
There you have it! One plant with 6 tomatoes.
Of course it can be modified to better fit personal preferences.

Hey Kyle ... would you mind posting a few pics? I can kinda see it, but it
would help :)

Cantaloupe (beige 2X2 round with green frond)
Squash (orange 2x2 round with green frond...is there a 2x2 round orange?)
Both would be hardy and used to more adverse conditions...good space food.
No for corn...it would suck your soil of all it's nutrients, and it produces
too little food.
Zuchini - green 1X1 rounds with a green cone if you can find one.
You may want to use hollow cylinders to create "growing pods" for
bio-engineered foods.
