Question:

what are the easiest things to grow in your FIRST home garden?

im a total beginner. i hv a medium yard n im in Canadawhat are the easiest fruit and / or veggie plants 2 grow in ur first garden? by any chance, can i grow blueberries/raspberries/strawberries??

Answer:

Veggies: cabbage, lettuce, carrots, beets, leeks, berries, blue berries, get those recommend for where you live. snow peas, Lima beans Flowers: Canna Lillies, Tulips, Daffodils, Chrys. Daylillies, Hydranga, Rhododendrone, Poppies.apple and cherry trees for color. Dig your soil deep and turn it over, use well seasoned fertilizer, any of the following: rabbit, chicken, cow, horse, and rack it in when you smooth down the soil. You may also use decomposed leaves. Take out weeds as you see them.
to get some decent results, you have to do some work first. I 'm in manitoba. to our veggie garden plot we added generous helpings of compost (built our own bin years ago) cow manure peat moss.also we added some veggie garden fertilizer then stirred it all in with a rototiller. carrots always grow well for us. just gotta be sure to thin them out so they have room to grow to a decent size. radishes have been a hit miss--the last 2 years they have gone directly to seed. peas are easy but you have to put up a mesh fence for them to climb. I soak the seeds for a couple hours then roll them in nitrogen before putting them in the ground potatoes are easy. they are ready when they stop blooming. this year I cut the seed potatoes rolled them in bone meal before putting them in the ground. I've never grown blueberries but for the raspberries strawberries, place them in full sun where they have lots of room because they spread like weeds. also, they come back every year so you never have to replant. I prune my raspberry canes down to about 2 feet tall every fall---or spring if I didn't get around to it in the fall. It makes them bush out. green peppers tomatoes are easy--you need to buy some cages for them though. I grew turnips for the first time this year--they are HUGE--turnips are ready to harvest after the first frost. onions green onions are easy. I have a patch of chives that come back every year. some things can't be planted too close together such as pumpkin cucumber as they will cross pollinate. you can do a google on companion gardening (I think that's the term) it tells you what plants do well next to other plants. good luck happy gardening!
Res berries and straw berries are pretty simple. You can buy a few plants and they will pretty much take care of themselves. Give them plenty of space as they will spread if allowed. I've never done blueberries but I think they are the same pretty much. Tomato and peppers are easy as well. Buy the baby plants in the spring and water when dry. Most seeded vegetables are relatively simple. Follow the directions on the seed package. Also put a shot or 2 of miracle grow on you plants every week or so. Hope this helps. Growing a garden can be very rewarding.
I f you use hydrohut for your plant and nursery it would be much beneficial.
Strawberries often improve properly yet to get them to fruit drastically demands some attempt, and lots of plant life. i think of whilst its no longer sizzling the least confusing to enhance is cucumbers, perchance after that issues like peppers or any legume.
