I want to start gardening in the backyard this year. I’m generally a busy person so I was thinking of starting with like two things and expanding next year if it works out. Sweet potatoes and cherry tomatoes?
What should I grow 🌱
Discussion
I've been gardening in containers on a balcony in LA for a few years now. Things that are really easy.
Radishes
Lettuces
Tomatoes
Peas
Dill
Chives
Green Onions
Potatos
You could also start your own worm bin and throw your food scraps in there. Works great, super easy, fertilize your garden.
Sweet potatoes need some room FYI. Cherry tomatoes are good. Also get some slicing tomoato for blt in the summer nothing better! Cucumber and peppers are good. We do a variety of peppers. Garlic is good and easy too.
Brother, start whatever two things will make you the most happy to pick and eat.
If you are going to have a couple containers, tomatoes, herbs, peppers, are great. If you are going to start some in-ground or raised beds, anything you want.
Where are you located, or what is your zone and growing season like?
I was thinking 1 or 2 raised beds. I live in northern New England, we have a temperate climate with a growing season of late May to early October, about 50-80deg Fahrenheit. 🤙🏼
Zucchini is easy cherry and beefsteak tomatoes are great
