If you grow potatoes and tomatoes do you remember to spray for blight? Both are susceptible and that is one reason that tomatoes don't ripen. Also potatoes take up a lot of space for the return from a monetary point of view - unless you can get really early crops in and then use the space for something that is higher value and fast growing afterwards.

My advice would be to pick those vegetables that cause a big hole in your pocket in the supermarket - for me it's runner beans - and they can crop heavily for months - until the first frosts kill them off.
