Good list. I'd add beans to the list as well as garlic.
Turnip Greens (only) and Bak choy ... very easy! not on your list -- excellent content!
Wish I could but not an Amazon shopper. Have purchased items on line just a few times. Not crazy abt it. But DO love ya!
What I would like to know is where you got your harvesting basket, the stainless (?) one with 2 handles. I have been looking for one with little success.
@@mymelhy its fantastic eh? I actually got it at a Home Hardware here in Canada.... Not even sure what it was designed for, but for picking tomatoes and peppers its awesome!
@ 5:25 I LOL’d at your creeper side! 😂
Ha ha ha, creeping on my Kale! Typical weekend....nothing to see here. ;)
For me personally herbs are the easiest thing to grow. Rosemary in particular, the hardiest of all the herbs. Hot peppers 🌶 are the 2nd easiest thing for me to grow. I live in zone 9b and they are the only garden veggie that can survive the scorching hot summers where I’m at. Marigolds are also very easy, they’re edible and delicious in salads, plus they’re a great insect deterrent, as is rosemary. Cherry tomatoes come in next as being very easy and hardy.
I have been unsuccessful in trying to grow anything that vines. Peas, cucumbers, etc. Squashes are also hard, you need the plants and conditions just right to get pollination going or have to have the knowledge of being able to hand pollinate them yourself. So complicated.
My favorite herb is thai basil, I always grow tons of it and propagate it throughout the year. Very easy.
I just recently stumbled upon the herb pineapple mint and I think I’m in love. 🍍🌿 I’m going to make mango salsa with it.
Herbs for sure. Anything quick growing like that..less room for error! :-)
Hi fellow 9B gardener! I’m in the Bay Area. I’ve had good luck with artichokes but not in full sun! Yes the cherry tomatoes are easy here for me too. So delicious. Happy gardening!!
Potatoes are super easy, garlic too . Garlic survived snow . Watermelon, cantelope, and spaghetti squash are easy too. The secret for me was to use a filter for the water , it removes all the chemicals in the water. Last summer I got 8 30 lb watermelons!
:-)
Subbed! You are correct about all of these. I would add cucumbers to this list. Can get a bush type or ones that climb all over. Plus if you live in a hot climate then okra. Gray striped Sunflowers as well. Just remember if you do basil , don't let it go to flower. I had one big plant last year, and it was hard to keep up! Be ready to dehydrate lots of it for spice jars!
Thanks so much Benji! Definitely right about the flowering....totally changes the taste of any herb! Do you dehydrate yours in a machine or just air dry?
Hello my friend a big like for your sharing. Stay safe and connected please 💖🙂
Cheers Shermin, thanks for watching!
Thanks, from a new gardener.
You're most welcome, thanks for watching! :-)
I've grown cucumbers, zuchinni, tomatoes and jalapeños. And I've been doing this for 3 years so far. I'm hoping next year to try pumpkins and maybe some cherry tomatoes again
Right on, keep the ball rolling! That's an impressive list already!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you! I experiment with flowers as well, like Zineas and vinca plants as well. My garden is practically overgrown with flowers and veggies and it's honestly the most beautiful thing in the world to me. Watching my garden grow is so satisfying and just genuinely makes me happy!!
Your videos are great. Super informative. I have grown a lot of crops successfully over the years and learned what did and didn't work for my soil type in my area. However, I have moved and I now have more of a clay based soil so I've been looking for as many ideas as possible to get back to growing my own stuff. Your videos have given me some ideas on how to grow the stuff I want again without risking losing the plants. I think building my own structures to plant in is going to be my best option. Keep it up!
Thank you for another wonderful video! You are a gift to us beginning gardeners!
Thanks so much for watching tammy, really appreciate the support. :-)
i've just discovered your account and i am so happy that i did. thank you for making growing food accessible to those without the means of knowledge or experience you've gained. i'm going to try this summer to grow some food! thank you for your help
Awesome! Appreciate the kind words. Best of luck and hopefully more of the videos can help you along as you start out! :-)
One plant I plan on growing every year are scarlet runner beans. Last year the deer just chomped away at them and all they did was grow taller and produce more!! I had to get my grandson to harvest them for me. LOL they have beautiful flowers that attract pollinators and hummingbirds. I just LOVE them. Still have some in my freezer that need to be eaten. Yum.
Yessss Gordon, definitely the runner beans! Good call.
Here is Las Vegas, mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow. And Swiss chard is also super easy to grow and take care of. And I agree that rosemary is nearly indestructible! It has no problem growing in full sun at 115 F degrees (46 C).
Mint for sure!! Love the Swiss Chard......dangit, should have made a 20-plant list!
I highly recommend growing sweet potato for the greens ... and harvesting the root vegetable as an extra.
Right on! Do you eat them raw or cook them?
Your videos always inspire a lot of confidence - thank you
Thanks, I hope they do! Or at least encourage people to try! :-)
Love your videos. They are helping me so much! I also joined your Facebook group and have been getting a TON of help there! You are amazing and thank you so much!!
Thanks so much Amanda! Appreciate that, you rule! :-)
I’ve been really enjoying your channel for great temperate advice, thank you!
Right on Anna, thanks for the support! :-)
Thank you for the confidence
Cheers Maryann, best of luck with your garden this year! :-)
Liked, saved, and commented, thank you !
I like to grow pumpkin mainly for the leaves they taste so good cooked, it's like a better spinach and has it's own unique texture and taste of more than spinach, any root vegetable is also nice and easy, carrots, potatoes. Cucumber leaves are also edible similair to pumpkin leaves
Excellent video. Thank you sir!
just planted my first garden in the Pacific Northwest...this was very helpful
Awesome Teresa! Same region as me. :-)
Your garden is very beautiful , grow many kind of veggies growing to make own food , thanks for sharing and like the content , thumb up for new video
As a noob...I have a little success planting and harvesting Kangkong (water spinach so they are called) and a piece of ginger. Currently growing Bok Choy, but it's being attacked by leaf miner. Only two healthy leaves left. Will try again. Thanks for this video!
Hey, thanks for the input! Bok Choy for sure.....especially for how fast it grows!
Thanks very informative 💪🏿
For the people who lives in tropical/hot climate location, I'll pick EGGPLANTS. I have grown many types, shapes, colors...so far they're never failed. They are much easier to take care than tomatoes and chilies IME (in my experience). 😆👍❤ Also cassava and corn...basically just stick/sow them in my backyard and they will thrive without any care at all (unless your area has lots of pests and terrible soil conditions, I guess).
Salam from your new sub from half the globe away.
Got into gardening for the first time in 2020 and I grew a determinate bush variety tomato for my first vegetable. It was so exciting to grow them from seed but I did make the mistake of planting them in June when our temperatures were 95°F+ for the highs. Because of that, they almost didn't make it out of the seedling stage and didn't really start to make much progress until I learned about giving them some sun protection. I didn't have shade cloth but I did use grip shelf liners that you can get cheap from a dollar store. It blocked out enough sun to protect them during the hot days while letting in just enough sunlight for them to utilize. They ended up reaching maturity and producing fruit for me though I only got about 20 mature fruits from them. The fall came and made our temperatures too cool for those fruits to ripen on the vine so I had to do the old putting them in a paper bag with a couple of apple's trick to ripen them. After about a week, they ripened and I took the seeds out of three of those fruits, and on the first of April, I planted some of those seeds. Every single one of them germinated and they are about to grow their second set of true leaves currently as I write this, while looking as green and healthy as ever.
2nd generation! Truly awesome!!!
Cheers mate, lots of good information for me .
Hey Ron, thanks for that! Happy to help! :-)
Hi there! I’m totally you’re number 1 FAN!
Do you have any videos on how to protect your soil from mold (hair) growing? I see that my soil has hair, white looking like mold. Please help
Great video. Thank you so much.
Hey I appreciate the support, thanks!
Great info thank you so much👍👍
Cheers Mark, thanks so much for checking it out! :-)
Thanks so much for another and as always, great video....be safe
Right on Jean-Marc, you too. I replied to you in the chat but the video ended and disabled the real-time chat, LOL
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms All good Sir, thanks...ok off to the roof...for some fun
Thank you for this amazing video for beginners I'm just starting my garden,I will take your advice on the easiest plants to begin with I live in the Bahamas where it's always sunny and hot love the video
@@lindamartin8516 thanks so much Linda, glad you liked! Best of luck with the new garden this year! :-)
cucumbers for sure!! my family struggled with tomatoes but always had tons of cucumbers.
I give a thumbs up thanks for sharing. I.love gardening too
Thanks Dams, cheers!
I found your channel a few days ago and wanted to comment then...but was engrossed and got lost in watching like a teenager with a new video game. Great Find!! and... Go..Riders ...Go! I was wondering if you have done anything on shed to greenhouse conversion coverings? OK...Back to immersion.
U got the best farming videos on youtube
Thanks so much for that Arvin. Super appreciated!
Nice video, thanks for sharing
Cheers, thanks for watching! :-)
This list of 15 felt like 50. Thanks
Love the video, maybe eggplant could have been explained alongside with zucchini because they are just as versatile and delicious
Thanks
Right on John, thanks for watching.:-)
Bush beans would be in my list also, especially dwarf varieties..
Definitely Stephen....rank them right in there with the Peas!
YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S TIME THAT WE ALL LEARN HOW TO GARDEN
Veggies garden whisperer is back 🤗
As much as humanly possible!
Your presentations are not only informative and practical but also therapeutic to our souls. 👏 Thank you so much for motivating people to grow their own food 🍱 🥘 🍲 , one of my favorite topic. 🙏
@@A1lifestyle005 I appreciate that so much santosh! Thanks for all the support! :-)
Green beans are the easiest for me.
Love all the legumes Becky!! :-)
Silverbeet should be on the list. Way to easy to grow.
Yessss.....Swiss Chard! You're so right!
Great video!
Thanks for watching! :-)
Reminds me of something youd see on PBS love it
Ha ha thanks! :-)
Hi from the UK! I am a new, but enthusiastic veggie grower. Can you tell me if it is necessary to fertilise seedlings? I have read conflicting views on this, so not sure how to proceed. Many thanks for your videos. 😀
Hey Christina, thanks for watching! Brand new seeds contain all the plant needs for at least a week plus....after that, the plant will begin to use light to pull nutrients from the substrate. So at 2 weeks of age, the soil should have some nutrition in it for the young plants moving forward. :-)
Thank you! Not sure how to use rosemary but will try to grow as it’s one of the easiest!!! I love cilantro and hot peppers! Oh, and beets!! I’m ready for the challenge;)
Thanks for watching Soraya! Rosemary is a herb mostly used to season white meats and vegetables. :-)
@UCnbe1GVmnPkth-wZK5B-9ng I have not heard of the hair thing... Must try!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I used it years ago when my hair was brunette. Google it.
@@joanies6778 on it! :-)
Got beet seeds in “starter” mix again today. Last bunch didn’t quite work? Oh, and only one cilantro baby is growing from the few seeds I stated few weeks back.
I have not yet found a Rosemary that will survive my winters outdoors in northwest Indiana, USA. I've tried a couple varieties but no luck. I live in hardiness zone 5B/6A. Suggestions appreciated! Thanks for the very informative vlog.
Cheers Sue... That can definitely be challenging.. I would prune only up to September.. Water heavily before first frost, and mulch like no tomorrow!
Sue, I’m in 6b/5a (we lean more towards 6b these days..) and I’ve had good luck with Arp Rosemary outdoors in a well draining rock wall. I don’t think they can handle cold wet feet at all. Also, I just discovered how easy Rosemary cuttings are, which really is fantastic insurance. Hope that helps!
Mint and parsley is very easy to grow and keeps coming back
Definitely theresa.....almost too easy! LOL. :-)
Cucumbers could also go on the list, something to go with the greens 😀. Thanks
For sure....I was right there...going to add it....then I thought it just has that weird level of difficulty sometimes, even though its crazy prolific once its going. I couldn't think of a veg it was easier than on the list! Great suggestion though! :-)
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms yes it does. Try to get mine in early down here in Alabama before the hot/humid wx hits 😀
@@theloosemonkeybackyardgard506 good plan!!
Hi there, can you grown herbs in water in your home, on your kitchen window. All year round? What about a lemon tree and avocado tree (just starting, haven’t got a stem yet), thanks.
Hey Sandra, many herbs can grow (for a limited time) in water....eventually though, all plants need soil. Water cannot sustain them long enough to get crops from them. :-)
I didn't know that there in the nitshad family , wow that's unbelievable ,
Yeah, crazy hey? Tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplants!
Hi Good morning SIFU l am extremely interested in planting 🍒😋 radish and have never attempted it yet Pray demonstrate starting from seeds so my first time won't be a failure l intend seeds by pot then transplant to grow bag or should l plant seeds directly in a container? 😁🙏
Rosemary is easily propagated if you get a branch ! Roots fast.
For sure....love the Rosemary! :-)
Have u ever sprouted celery? Also when is planting the sprouts supposed to happen??? I have never tried to sprout celery b4, need help plez🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey Amber, yes. Plant them super shallow and only when the soil is above 10C.
I would add potatoes, sunchokes, and horseradish. Potatoes are cold resistant, can be planted before your last frost date, and do not require a lot of water. Sunchokes grow massive flower stalks, spread like weeds, and have the highest yield of any tuber crop I've grown. Horseradish can be grown from store bought roots, they are highly pest resistant, and the leaves are edible.
Be warned, if you plant sunchokes or horseradish at any time, you will never get rid of them ever.
To help the new gardener rack up some sucesses learn and plant the plants you only need to plant once and harvest year after year..
Carrots are cool and all but I remember when I tried to grow carrots my first time they grew big green leaves but even after a full season they just had barely any orange root :( . I’m thinking maybe it’s because I planted them with too much fertilizer and they used the nitrogen too much? Like of like the way radishes do?
Yeah Daniel, carrots definitely do that. Plus they need really loose soil to grow their tubers properly.
Whenever I grow herbs indoors they always get an aphid infestation, nothing kills them either I've tried natural sprays, oils, vinegar etc. even DE doesn't work.
Dang, even when you start fresh from seeds Aaron? They must originate from somewhere....
Who's also a Corona gardener?
Everything dies in my radius.. Hope this helps me
Oh no! Hope you have a better year in 2021! :-)
Arugula for me
Love Arugula Caroline! Can't get enough! :-)

@@liamgrows Its definitely an acquired technique Liam! :-)
Is all rosemary edible?
Hey Katie, there are ornamental types...gotta read the label to be sure.
My radishes taken more than 15 days for sprout out 😞
Could be temperatures barbara. Cooler temps and they take a bit longer.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms definitely 😊

My tomatoes keep dying after 3/4 fruits... Cucumber dies before 1 fruit
