In this video, I share my top 10 easiest vegetables to grow for beginner gardeners. These crops are perfect for learning basic gardening skills that you can apply to more challenging vegetable crops later on. This guide features vegetables suitable for growing during spring or fall and includes detailed tips for leafy greens like lettuce and arugula, root crops like radishes and carrots, beans, peas, onions, and herbs like basil. I’ll also discuss fruiting vegetables and some specific cultivars that are beginner-friendly.

Really good knowledge passed on. Most want to just sell product and I get that but others provide only superficial knowledge. You clearly have a comprehensive understanding of plant biology and I actually do learn from your videos most of the time. I have been growing in Chicagoland for something like perhaps 12 years or so now and have learned so much on my own to this point. I have had issues with damping off for the last three years now and it's frankly really depressing because I feel like I am well read on it and still run into problems consistently. Do you reuse containers for seed starting? (Not the tiny ones but the med sized of perhaps 3 in so in diameter)? Sterilize? Thank you
❤❤❤❤good afternoon and happy valentine's day ❤
Thanks for sharing this!!!!
Thank you for sharing 💚
Thanks for the tips
Can you do a video with easy to grow vegetables for container growers like myself that don’t have yard space?
Great info for my zone 9a
Just found your channel a couple days ago and I'm loving it.
Thank you! I will be starting my first food garden this spring! Perfect!
Thank you, I learn so much from you! I made it through my first growing season in Florida and had a decent bounty, but know I have so much to learn!
Great video! Lettuce is my fav!
When starting from seed I do best with the purple basil also
I really enjoy growing romaine lettuce from grocery scraps in pots on the window sill.
Thanks for sharing good veggies to start with!
As someone new to gardening, this is helpfully! Thank you 🙏 🌱
I wish I had this when I was getting started.
Hi, May I know if you are interested in reviewing our Yeryork Electric Tiller? 😊
Basil is the one thing I can't grow 🤣 I tried for years, buying packs from the store to trying seeds ect. It hates me and I hate it at this point lol 🤣
Thanks wonderful…. im S fl 33311
i have had success with cucumber and no go on the squash (they so tender and easy to hurt my feelings) and tomatoes (just cause me to fuss)
Would you please help settle a question regarding planting cucumbers with melons. I posted this on Facebook and unfortunately it went in all kinds of directions. Can I plant melons near cucumbers? I have very limited space and I would love to grow melons, but my mother always said to never do that. I know there’s a chance the seeds may cross pollinate and cannot be used next year, but will they impact each other this year?
Are your seeds organic?
