Wendy,
Thanks for posting a response to the thread.
I am an active member of a few chapters of the California Rare Fruit Growers up here in the SF Bay area. The website is strong on fruits, with only limited info on perennial veggies.
You are all welcome to come to our local annual Fruit wood Scion Exchanges held in Jan/Feb, check with your local chapter for exact dates. Join the state wide organization and get a cool full color fruit magazine. Next year's Festival of Fruit will be held at the Fullerton Arboretum, with the theme "year of the Dragon Fruit", see you there!
Cornucopia II is the best book on edibles, ever, just alot to wade through, looking for just p.veggies. You may all know the author Stephen Facciola was partners with Steve Spangler in founding Exotica (two different Steves).
Though veggies benefit from being in intensive gardens, ideally fed by rain water from roofs and greywater, the climates are getting more extreemm everywhere, and the most adaptable edible weeds will survive.
But truly we must all seek out our unique natives (and other wild growing plants) to know and grow. . and use with respect.

Greetings to everyone reading and interested in this thread!
I've already sent a personal response to Cory but I couldn't let this thread go on without a plug for the website of the California Rare Fruit Growers, www.crfg.org.
They've got a comprehensive list. Speaking of master lists and a well-deserved plug, Cornucopia II (713p, $40) by Stephen Facciola is the master
tome on edibles and that's not even all the plants that he could
possibly write about! No pictures but it is chock full of information. You will definitely get your money's worth. Contact Steve at Exotica Nursery in Vista - you know, the nursery that's in trouble that John Valenzuela wrote about. My master's thesis, titled "Coastal Southern California Edible Forest Gardening: Plant Species and Cultivar List", which lists species and cultivars is
a tad over 500 pages.
Remember that the climates of CA
and Florida are becoming more divergent. Think in the long term. I
can't speak for Florida but CA is becoming drier and water scarce yet with a measurable
increase in humidity. Each area really needs its own tailored list of
suitable plants. There will be some overlaps in the species lists but to do each of the places justice and to give each due respect, there should be an inclusion of edible endemic plants as well.
Kind regards,
Wendy Talaro, M.A.

Well, yes, please do get started on the roots and vines :-) Love to hear what you've had success with. I love the moringa! First introducd to it in Florida, I brought seeds to S Cal if anybody's interested. Beautiful plant, so useful for so many things and a possible life saving food source perhaps. And the Okinawan spinach does well in shade and heat both which is great for my yard in Fl. I haven't tried a number of the ones you listed, looking forward to it.
Have heard about this book, may need to break down and purchase...
