  1. Cherry tomatoes are super cool so many of them every year ! normal tomato die or need constant attention.. this small plant gives you smaller but many more and you can eat it from plant easy no cutting.. its harder skin so its better against bugs

  2. Where I live we have a big problem with squash bugs. If anyone knows a successful and natural way to get rid of them I would love to know.

  3. Jerusalem artichokes are another easy crop to grow. Plant them similar to potatoes and watch them grow. Just make sure to keep them in one area as they will spread! But are very good eating, just make sure to cook them thoroughly or you'll be experiencing their namesake fartichokes 🤣🤣

  6. Anyone – I’m Curious on the segment for cucumber are are those Styrofoam containers and are the plastic cups for compost worms ?

  7. This is the ultimate 'Lazy Gardener's' cheat sheet! Most people overcomplicate vegetable gardening, but starting with tough, resilient varieties like radishes or cherry tomatoes is the best way to build confidence.

  8. just as well i just plant in zucchini, boi chai and leeks! i already am growng grapes and training the vines to the wires! nice list of seeds to grow

  9. This video is truly inspiring for anyone who wants to start gardening! I love how you clearly explained each vegetable, including harvest time, planting methods, and easy varieties to grow. Vegetables like zucchini, green beans, and radishes really make home gardening sound simple and achievable. The mulch tip at the end of the video is also incredibly helpful—it’s a great secret to keeping a garden low-maintenance while still getting great harvests. Thank you for such a practical and easy-to-follow video!

  10. This is exactly the kind of gardening I like 😄 Low effort, big harvest. I’ve grown radishes and zucchini before and they really do feel like they grow themselves. Which of these is the easiest in your experience?

  11. Great tips! I planted cherry tomatoes last year and they were so productive. Definitely adding zucchini this time too

  12. I loved the tip about beets being a "two-for-one" crop since you can eat both the roots and the greens! Since you mentioned zucchini can get overwhelming, what are your favorite ways to use up a massive harvest?

  13. I saw the first one, zucchini and decided not to watch the rest. Yes, it grows easily, but then you have to deal with the squash bugs. If you don't, you won't get more than 1 harvest before your vines are dead. Dealing with them is either a lot of chemicals (some are organic but have to be reapplied constantly), or worse, babysitting them every day to manually squash the squash bugs. Here's my list of things I actually grow, and I know some of them are in this video even though I didn't watch it:
    cherry tomatoes – they're almost invasive
    peppers – not quite invasive, but just let some of them drop and you'll have volunteers next year
    horseradish (invasive perennial, but practically unkillable)
    sunchokes (invasive perennial, but practically unkillable)
    asparagus (grows easily from seed, and is a perennial you'll harvest "forever")
    cardoons (plant once, harvest forever)
    strawberries (semi perennial …but they grow easy enough that you can just drop seeds every other year)
    onions (correct soil is critical if you want big ones, but other than that, just drop seeds around groundhog day in most areas, or in the fall in warmer zones)
    mint of just about any variety, that includes lavender (perennial is many zones)
    rosemary (prennial in many zones)
    okra – if the seeds are fertile, they'll grow. I have found that for some reason, many pods are infertile even if you let them go all the way to seed on the plant….I don't know why (maybe a parasite?)…so overplant them, but otherwise easy
