As for myself I plan to take some cuttings of elderberry and root them indoors. Hoping I can plant them by spring. In later February I plan to prune a peach tree and then attempt my first ever graft using the pruning.

We have 4x raised beds that are 4' x 8' and live on the south edge of zone 7.

We start our whole veg garden from seed. It's not that we grow very eclectic things, but the specific species we like are not available to buy at the garden stores around us.

We tend to have heirloom tomatoes in different sizes and colors, some type of pole bean (last years were purple), a few kinds of peppers including shishitos, mini cantaloupe, carrots, onions, etc. We try to do something the kids are less likely to know visually too, like artichokes. Last year we grew some luffas, although I didn't realize we were cutting it very close on our growing season.

Edits: I'll start some seeds pretty soon indoors. Others will go straight in the ground when it's warm enough.
