    The easiest (for me) is carrots so that's my favorite. Then zucchini and tomatoes of course. Also potatoes, beans and bell peppers. I also grow strawberries, even though I can't eat them cuz I'm allergic - my family gets those. And I grow sunflowers for the birds. I have an orange tree and a lemon tree and several perennial herbs. I failed at cabbage though. I don't think I'll be doing that one again. That was just a big earwig magnet! :grumble:

    Put out a little tub of beer and those greedy little slugs and snails will fall in and drown.
