dandelions, tomatoes are difficult because of the many pests especially stink bugs and a certain moth caterpillar. use wiiring to protect it from animals like deer rabbits etc..
Try some onions.let them sprout first and some other herbs like coriander seeds grow easily………………you could put your kitchen waste in the bottom as manure…..some chilly seeds will keep the insects away
You will never save any money if you are the only person who is going to eat of the garden. You never mentioned which country you are from. Here in Malaysia, Kang Kong is the easiest to grow. Ladies fingers (ocra) are also easy.
Good vegetables to grow: Tomato and chillies
Bugs will always be around but they didn’t bother to eat the plants, instead the squirrels did! You could check your local hardware or garden store for that.You should start your seeds in the winter. Truthfully, though cheaper to buy from grocery store than plant because it is more expensive. If you’re trying to save money then buy it from the grocery store. Good luck!
You are gonna love gardening, don’t try to do it all in one year. Get to know where the sun shines the most, and where the shaded areas are. Veggies need at least 6 hours of sun per day. And lots and lots of water everyday if you do not get rain.
Since you are a beginner, this year start your garden with plants that you get from a garden center or nursery. They are called bedding plants and come in a six pack. Look for a little tag sticking in the six pact showing directions on how to grow the plants. If the tag is not there, ask for one or buy something else. Directions are VERY important.
Seeds are not always easy to grow.
Two good things to do for yourself is to call your local County Extension Service and ask for all the information that they have about home gardening in your area. They usually have a packet/kit of things for the home gardener.
And number two would be to pick up a couple of beginner books. You really do need to know about soil, compost, mulch and etc.
To keep from over watering or not watering enough, buy a water analyzer from a nursery or garden center. Be sure to read the directions. This will be one of your best tools.
Send for some free gardening catalogs and get use to the different types of plants, colors, and when to plant. They are filled with good informtion and pictures. And they will keep you company during the long winter months. Here is a list of just a very few. There are hundreds more:
You can grow vegetables in large containers too.
All need holes in the bottem for water drainage,
Vegetable potting soil that comes in bags,
Slow release fertilizer for veggies, OR liquid fertilizer that will need to be used more often-read directions,
Water crystals to be mixed into the soil for holding water,
Bedding plants or full grown plants.
RADISHES! so easy and quick to grow.i just dig a few seeds in between other plants..hay presto! three weeks later,a crunchy snack to eat whilst you’re weeding!
The climate will dictate to you the the types of vegetables to grow in your area. The broad range of climates in the U.S.covers a dozen zones of temeperature range. For example you would never think of planting a tomato plant in a zone until all danger of frost is gone and this can be late as in the end of May.
Then you have other types in your home vegetable gardening like beans,broccoli,cauliflower and onions that will grow well in cooler climates. They can tolerate temperatures in the 50F-68F(10c-20c) and will withstand frost better than most. Then you have vegetables like cabbage,carrots,lettuce looking for temperatures in the 60F-75F(15c-25c). The vegetable plants like tomatoes,corn,eggplant and potatoes really like it hot.
I am going to cover the growing of many vegetables including how to plant the seed and or plant,the soil preparation for each vegetable and the actual timing and care of your plants in your home vegetable gardening.

growing from seed is not easy,you need the little starter pots and potting soil and fertilizer etc. Half of what you plant will likely not survive. just try to buy your veggies from the local farmer’s market.
I don’t know where you live, but these have proven easy for me to grow in soil that does not have much clay in it.
Tomatoes,
Okra,
Squash,
almost any Beans,
cantalope,
and onions and garlic.
Oh, and let’s not forget the main staple…potatoes.
I would start from seed right now in your window sill. Get one of those seed starter kits, and you will only need a few of each. Say two to four plants. Trust me. After the first week of April, if you are in the southern area of US, you can transplant the plants into a garden outside. Make sure they get plenty of sun. Keep garden bug spray handy and watch for the leaves turning brown or yellow.
we are newbies at gardening, but hubby had success with beef steak tomatoes. and, there’s an onion, that the tops, are the green onions, but as it matures, you can use the bulbs like regular onions. it’s a good deal.
i also did chives, they grew like crazy.
but it depends on your soil, and climate etc. best one to know would be the garden center.
OR better yet, everyone has one on their block, a lonely senior that is looking for some help. you could help her, she’ll give you some of the crop, you’d give her some company, and she’ll give you lots of gardening know how
herbs are easy to grow.
tip, start most seeds indoors in the spring (ie, april) in small peat pots, and transplant when all signs of frost is gone, here it’s about the 3rd week of may.
the easiest for me is tomtato! they grow like crazy
