Potatoes, onions, carrots, celeriac, garlic, cabbage, cucumber, tomatoes, red bell pepper
- Tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, beans, bell peppers are easy and grow on any fertile soil. - onions, garlic, celeriac, need specific minerals and higher soil pH than usual - cabbages, brussel sprouts, cauliflower... are difficult to grow because you need to spray them regularly with pesticides. Those veggies attract insects like cabbage butterfly and their larva destroy your cabbages without pesticides.
I'm big into radishes- which are also SUPER easy to grow, though of course that depends somewhat on your local climate. I plan to get some more going as soon as the temperatures hit the right range; down here, it gets too hot in the summer.
They need more work, but I'm also thinking of trying water chestnuts at some point; everyone keeps telling me that fresh ones are WORLDS better than canned, which may be true, for all I know; I have yet to find anywhere that sells them. Okay, then, I'll grow them myself.
Also, you know how when you were eight, you'd take a Piroulene and stick it end-on in your mouth, like you were smoking a cigar? I sometimes do that with a cucumber now (but then, my head is big enough that it's not as comical as it would be for a normal-sized person); I should probably consider growing those; they're not too difficult either, I hear.
Chose crops that are higher value and are better fresh is my criteria. Tomatoes are a def - grow indefinites so they are all at once and are different colors. Peppers are good value. I love Brussel sprouts and they cost more. I'd prioritize peas over beans because the fresher the better for peas in my view. Don't forget herbs. Basil Basil and more Basil. Chives? Spring onions?
Potatoes would be low down for me because they are lowest value. Ditto cabbage, onions.
If you're starting a garden I'd look into which veg is easiest to grow in your area. Have a word with some local gardeners if you can. If your in a cool area like the uk chard is bullet proof.
At home we get through a lot of local veg like carrots, leeks, onions, potatoes, parsnips, kale, celeriac, and cauliflower. As well as the more delicate stuff like tomatoes, peppers, courgettes and aubergines.
Definitely iceburg lettuce, potatoes, green beans, and cucumbers. In the summer when we plant our garden we grow cherry tomatoes, green beans, bell peppers, and then zucchini or cucumbers. Our cherry tomatoes were good last summer, and we had a lot of them! 🍅 But I love my vegetables to say the least.
In my garden I grow, several varieties of tomatoes, green pole beans because they take up less room them bush beans, are easier to pick and are more prolific, carrots, parsnips, beets, leeks, kale, parsley, bell peppers, Jalapeños peppers, lettuce, zucchini, winter squash such as butternut, buttercup & acorn, sometimes corn but it takes up a lot of room and you have to have at least four rows for it to germinate properly, used to grow potatoes but they're cheap enough st the store, strawberries, rhubarb, blueberries and raspberries, radishes where the carrots and parsnips are planted as they come up first and keep the soil loose, cucumbers and dill, and that's about it.
I’d say spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, asparagus, carrots, cucumber, avocado (yeah, it’s a fruit, sue me😝), red onion, and then I have an “Asian Medley” steam-in-the-bag frozen vegetable thing I eat a couple nights a week for ease, and that’s got baby corn, sugar snap pea pods, and water chestnuts. I think that about covers my week. Sweet potatoes too, forgot about those.
The ones I eat a lot and the ones I grow are two different lists.
We can't seem to grow peppers worth a darn, but we eat a lot of them, for example.; Lettuce is always a toss up based on weather. Carrots I like, but our "soil" isn't anywhere loose enough to grow them very well. Tomatoes, cukes- both eating and pickling- basil and dill are our strong growers and ones we like as well.
Now, if only I could find room for a few hundred stalks of corn!
get that garden going! stick with stuff that grows easily and very productive. plant several different things as seasons can impact harvest of specific crops.
you can start your plants indoors now or soon. good luck.
if I can't put it in fruits salad then I won't consider it fruits yet lol it has to belong with other fruits otherwise imma keep calling it a vegetable
