Planting some vegetables, what are the easiest ones that you have grown?
-
I would say tomatoes.

I would say tomatoes.
Really? I found tomatoes to be one of the hardest vegetables to grow. I think it was mainly cause I was in a colder climate in the summer. Cucumbers for me are easiest.
-
I've always grown tomatoes with no problems. Some lettuce varieties might be easy to grow. Good luck!

It seems like I have more luck growing peppers all year long. I do grow lettuce, but it dies out in the summer here in Texas. I like different variesties and they all seem to grow by just scattering the seed in my container beds, then covering them. Radishes grow the same way, but they have to be thinned and don't do well here in the summer. They get hard and HOT during the summer months. Glad to see people are growing their own veggies. You will enjoy your food more knowing that you raised it and the only chemicals on it are the ones you spray it with.

I find tomatoes are easy to grow. I have a huge garden and radishes and green onions grow fairly quick. remember to make sure there are no walnut trees around your garden. You will get beautiful plants but no produce. Walnut trees are bad for the garden. Happy Gardening
-
I grow everything. Radishes are easy...and fast growers. Green beans from the garden are great and easy. I think every vegetable is easy if you plant according to directions. Things will grow because they want to grow. Don't forget to water, if you don't get rain.

Being growing veggies for about two years now, the easy ones for me are cucumbers and squash.
-
If you have lots of sun, I'd say tomatoes and basil. I'm in California and they grow nicely off my back porch, sitting in the sun for most of the day.
-
cucumbers or zucchini
-
yellow squash !! that stuff would grow in gravel!! lol and once they come on you better watch them or over night they will get huge and tough!! i love yellow squash tho the small ones fry up so good i put some green onions in with them and have a meal!!
-
yellow squash and zuccinni grow like crazzy. One day all you see is blooms and you are watching them grow and the all of a sudden you will find a big one hiding. Makes good zuccinni bread yum.
-
Like a member said, depending on where you live, I would say tomatoes.

:thumbsup: Good question however I HAVE NO IDEA. I have tried tomatoes which if watered, fed and the weather is good grow great. I had fun growing potatoes with the kids. I took old potatoes that had roots and berried them in a barrel with lots of soil. as they grow you have to continue to add more soil while being sure to water and feed just enough. It was a little bit of work but a fun experience for the kids. I think the onion is the easiest as you can take an old onion plant the roots and water and watch the green sprout. Know that I think about it I have grown peas and they took little work and we had them most of the summer. But if the weather is bad growing anything can be a challenge.
Here's to lots of sun, rain during the weekdays, when most are a t work and lots of worms to help move the soil.

I always had no trouble with tomatoes, peppers, onions
-
Easiest ones for us to grow are pumpkins, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers.
-
Squash seems to be the easiest for me. Plus I love to eat them.
-
I have found that tomatoes are the easiest to grow.
-
Tomatoes are easy to grow if you are in the right climate. I love home grown tomatoes. Last year we had so many peppers, we didn't know what to do with all of them.
-
We have found that tomatoes are the easiest to grow in our area, too. Cucumbers and squash grow pretty easily, too. We freeze the squash to last us through the winter. It's nice having all 3 available here!
-
Potatoes, tomatoes, squash are the top 3 I have had luck with.
-
Wow, I am going to rethink growing tomatoes, I had no idea. Going to do a little research first.
-
I have only tried to grow three vegetables. I grew squash, cucumbers and tomatoes. I had success with all three, but I guess the easiest is tomatoes.
-
I did good with green onions, carrots did okay to. This was in Washington state.
-
I live in Oregon's Willamette Valley and the easiest is Zucchini. In fact it grows so easy there are always more people giving away their abundance you wonder if you should bother. I think the easiest crop with the biggest bang for the buck us bush beans. We plant about 100 bushes every year and have fresh green beans all summer.

:wave: I have had really good luck with tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkin, green beans, peas, radishes, lettuce, peppers, strawberries, beets. But tomatoes seem to be the easiest. You can grow them in the ground or in a pot. The squash like someone else said go like crazy. So, I take a lot of it and grate it up, put in zip locks and throw in the freezer, then you have it all year round for zucchini breads, or to thrown in sauces. I am going to try dicing some of it up this year and see how it does. I use to do a lot of canning, but that is hot hard work. So the last couple of years I have been experimenting with freezing everything. There is nothing as yummy as your home grown vegetables! :thumbsup: We also like to throw in a couple of fun things like "Golden" beets, and purple potatoes! We plant vegetables in all our flower beds.

When I did garden, I had no trouble with tomatoes, peppers, & onions... GOOD LUCK!!!
-
I think anything that grows on a vine is by far the easiest. Such as grapes. Other than that I would think tomatoes would be the easiest.
-
I currently have broccoli in my garden. I did start with plants tho but they are doing very nicely!! But tomatoes are also easy to grow. Good luck! :thumbsup:
-
tomato, paper, beans.
-
I agree with most of you, although I never planted them I would say tomatoes.
-
tomatoes, and pumkin
-
I have never grown vegetables but iwould think tomatoes would be easy to grow
-
cucumbers and tomato are so easy.... :dog:
-
Today, my dad just planted some sugar babies (I guess they're small watermelons) and something else that I can't remember. I hope they turn out well because it'll be neat to try something that wasn't grown with pesticides.
-
The easiest thing I've ever grown was sweet potatoes. I had tossed the peelings in my flower bed (for compost) and the next thing I knew, I had this humongous vine covering the whole bed! ;D
The easiest thing I've ever grown, on purpose, was tomatoes.
-
Peppers are pretty easy but alot of it has to do with location in the garden.
