Question

What is the easiest thing to grow in a home garden.( For A Beginner)?

Answer 1

Tomatoes

they r pretty easy...u just have to keep a watch a lot 2 make sure that they dont get eaten (by random animals out there) or rot.

Answer 2

Radishes, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, squash, corn, tomatillo's, cucumbers, bush beans. All about equally easy to grow. Till the soil, plant the seeds according to instructions on the packet, water every second or third day, and they just keep growing until they produce.

Answer 3

We're, my spouse and I, are not beginners but, we're oldsters and bad health so, we don't tend a huge garden anymore, we used to can as many as 35 "cases of canning at one time years ago "when we had 5 kids at home looking hungry all the time. We don't use that much anymore so, we put in four "Early Girl" Tomato plants, two "Romas" about four Green Pepper plants, two cukes for salads, and a variety that strikes my wife at the time. The garden is about twelve feet square and cheap and easy to water and fertilize.

      The high gas rates have increased the fertilizer rates also, very high this year so, we know a farmer and he brought us a load of old cow manure that we mulched in. Good luck.

Answer 4

I agree with all the other answers, but, that is why we are here - to voice our opinions.  Put all of this advice together and buy potting soil and miracle gro.  Get online key into your address bar "growing _____"  (whatever you want to grow).  Also key into that address bar "how to grow a garden" and just scan those pages that come up (you can always hit the back at the top if that isn't what you want to see.  You can grow anything that you want to grow.  Just go out and check it every day and water, but don't drown it.  Morning is best time to water, as at night, the wet ground can mold and stink (from nightly dew).  That is early morn and really it doesn't need to be watered every day.  Also, buy sevin dust or some kind of bug repellant which they tell me that we need to make sure the bottom of the leaves gets sprayed because like squash bugs they gather underneath.  I am not an expert, but I have learned a little.  Good luck with your garden - and I, as so many others, the rains and the floods have run me behind!!!

Answer 5

You don't say whether it is a veggie garden or a flower garden. You don't say what hardiness zone you live in or what state.  You don't say whether the area is in full sun or shade.  You don't say whether you want to plant seeds or plants and you don't say whether you have a budget to wrk with or not.

These are the kinds of things that would help someone alot to recommend what would grow well in your area for a beginner.

Okay, let's assume it is a flower garden because people that grow veggies grow what they like to eat, not what is easiest to grow.

Answer 6

radishes and tomatoes

Answer 7

In my case it's weeds. I can't tell the difference so I pulled evertything, I guess what grew back are weeds.
