    Well, there are many seeds such as lettuce, that need light to germinate. Others, like the Avocado, do not.

    You can show the differences between the germination of the two in both conditions.

    There is more research to be done than I can include here. I would suggest doing thorough research on the subject before selecting a list of seeds to work with.

    Will you please repost telling us where you live or at least agricultural zone. How much sun does the area get; e.g. 6 hours of direct sun, light or deep shade most of the day. Do you have sandy, rocky or clay soil or something in between? Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words.

    I will include a few articles that will help. If you can provide your growing zone, then I will be able to recommend a better selection for your area.

    If this area does not get cold, then I would say that you could plant just about anything that is tropical. Native plants will not do well here because they will need a cold period to thrive.

    You might try your hand at citrus, or other fruits that will not usually do well in your area.

    You are actually in zone 9a. This means that you can take advantage of some citrus trees, as well as many subtropical trees. I fear that it would be too hot for many magnolias, although some do well. A camellia will be better suited than this. I would urge you to take a look as some trees for the zone 9a, as you can find many possibilities for this area.

    This is a very difficult subject. We cannot really help very much with edibles outside of the norm, as not much is known on the allergies of these plants, as well as sensitivities and chemical amounts of certain substances within the plant. Now we do have articles on the care of many edible plants, that are not listed as such.

    What I recommend is doing research on edible plants that will do well in your area, and then from there pick the plants that you want. After, you can find many articles here on how to grow them.
