What is your favorite nutrient dense crop to grow? Mine is arugula!

This year I'm growing tomatoes, beets, carrots, peas, cucumbers, zucchini and corn. Out of all of that the beets are my favorite. Tons of nutrients and absolutely delicious roasted or shaved thin and tossed in salad. We also have cherry bushes and honeyberry bushes in our yard.0

Beets! Yes! I make a flourless chocolate beet cake that is amazing! Nice variety of crops!0 -
My favorite plant is my container sunshine variety blueberry bush I got at Costco two years ago. It is very low maintenance, pest/disease resistant, and a very heavy producer.
I have strawberries that are going nuts right now. I started a lot of things in the spring, but we have a serious problem with rabbits. The only things they will not eat apparently are my tomatoes and strawberries (??). Oh and one leek they let live. I had a raspberry bush that had potential, but unfortunately we went on vacation, it didn't rain enough for its liking, and the berries it was in the middle of producing all pretty much stopped developing and dropped off. Now the plant has fully recovered, but I will have to wait until next spring to try again. Tsk.0 -

Spinach! Also, not nutrient dense, but herbs. I love having whatever I want on hand - basil, thyme, rosemary and oregano. I haven't had ANY luck with cilantro, which I love... if anyone has any tips, please toss them my way!0

I need a blueberry bush!0 -
My favourite vegetables to grow are tomatoes and green beans. Unfortunately i have a major wood bug problem this year and i don't know how to get rid of them except by picking them out one by one. I also love my bramble berry bush, which is producing fruit pretty well this year.0

Good to know! Thank you!0 -
This year it's lettuce, broccoli, squash, beans, tomatoes, leeks, peppers, sweet potatoes and carrots. Don't know how nutrient dense they are but they sure taste good!1

We've got a lot of stuff going - several varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, celery, herbs, carrots, kale, radishes, leeks, Cippolini onions, chard, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkin, cantaloupe, watermelon, various salad greens, artichokes and loads of herbs and garlic.
I'm battling squirrels who have made off with all of our strawberries so far this year! Harvested the first planting of peas yesterday, which made for a good addition to my lunch today.1 -
I love arugula! I also grow a few types of kale. So happy it's garden season!0

Let's see...onions, garlic, broccoli, kale, radishes, beets, carrots, spinach, artichokes, asparagus, hot peppers, lettuce, zucchini, cucumbers, corn, green beans, snow peas, assorted herbs, several varieties of tomatoes, rhubarb, apples, cherries, strawberries and raspberries...this is all pending no late frosts (snow above 6000' in Montana today ), crazy hail storms, or critters that get into everything when I'm not looking. Oh...and hops.1

Wow! All of you sound like you have some amazing gardens! I always say, grow food, not lawns! Lol2

4 different tomato plants, zucchini, green beans, green chile, strawberries, basil, rosemary, dill, oregano, and thyme. I absolutely love growing tomatoes and basil and I'm super excited for the zucchini this year!0

Several varieties of heirloom tomatoes (25 plants total), broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, radishes, strawberries, lettuce, cantaloupe, watermelon, red orange and yellow bell peppers and peas. Unfortunately earwigs ate our tomatillo and ground cherry plants0

This year I am only growing a salsa garden, so I have tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, habenero's & cilantro. This is the first year I am not doing my typical zucchini, cucumbers & butternut squash. I grew spinach one year, that was a huge success too.0
