Carrots are hard to germinate, easy to grow. I recommend trying them again. After sowing, water well and cover with a board or cardboard or we use silage tarps. This speeds up the germination so you aren't waiting for 2 weeks wondering are there carrots? Weed thoroughly and you'll get some great carrots unless the soil is uselessly compacted (often they can still fight it) or crazy with rocks. Compost fixes all soil types, organic matter. Once you grow your own carrots not only will you feel like a real pro, you'll never have a better carrot. I like early nantes types, Adilaide and Mokum are best tasting and fast growers.
Paw paw do grow well but if you want to see the fruit, you have to beat the birds and squirrels. My grandmother planted paw paw to keep the animal losses to the other fruit trees.
I've never had luck with carrots. Not even going to try this year lol. Stinging nettles grow wild in my yard, I found out the hard way why they're called that.

Try sweet potatoes. Super easy. Doesnt mind clay soil. You can eat the leaves cooked. Taste kinda like spinach.
They make pretty vines, good for growing on fences.
Theyre so hardy I mow them to maintain them and it doesn't bother them lol
Also egyption walking onions are hardy and come back every year. I plant them in my bulb flower garden because why not? :P
Comfrey and Tobacco grow themselves.
Don't forget about plum trees.
Somebody said pawpaw trees grow pretty well. Can't speak from experience tho.
Depends where you are. Mountain pawpaw works well in temperate climate, while pawpaw is better in tropics.

Going with a no-tools raised bed for potatoes this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmHUhGMVdEg
