Onions and garlic are easy to grow: both can be grown over the winter, although the main crop, onions, tends to be planted in the spring. These easy vegetables get used often, so I think they’re an excellent place to start.
Homegrown potatoes are delicious and so easy to grow! Once you taste them, it’s all you want, as the store-bought ones don’t taste as good.
Tomatoes are another favorite. A bush tomato plant needs little attention and will produce a mass of baby tomatoes.
If you’ve cleared enough space in your starting vegetable garden, runner beans and sugar peas (or mangetout) are great vegetables to grow.
The all-popular zucchini needs a spot in every garden, and if well fed, will give you plenty of fruits for the table.
Lettuce is very easy to grow, and there are several different varieties to choose from. It has a lot of different uses and, of course, always makes for a great salad.
Spinach is one of my favorites on the easy-to-grow list. It’s cold-weather friendly and can survive in temperatures as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
Green beans come in two varieties: bush beans and pole beans. Many people don’t realize there are two different types. Bush beans are green beans grown on a short, bushy plant.
