Given the proper care and conditions, most vegetables are not difficult to grow. However, some are easier than others.

Whether you’re a Master Gardener, a novice, or just want a low maintenance crop, you’ll want to look for easy vegetables to grow at home. What qualifies a veggie as easy to grow? A number of factors combine to make one vegetable easier to grow than another.
Before planting, you need to consider site selection. Almost all vegetables require sun, so you’ll need a site that receives at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.
Veggies need at least an inch (2.5 cm) of water through rain or irrigation per week depending upon weather conditions. Consider where the water is coming from. Is the garden near a hose or outside tap? Are you going to put a drip line in or soaker hoses or are you going to luck buckets or watering cans full? What is the plan to water the garden?
Vegetables don’t do well with weed competition. Are you going to cultivate or hand weed on a regular basis to ensure weeds don’t take hold? If not, are you going to grow through black plastic, or mulch to retard weeds?
Once you have your veggie garden area prepped it’s time to plant. Before investing in seeds or starts, make sure you know what you want to plant and that your choice works for your USDA zone. Also be sure to read the seed packet and make sure your growing season is long enough for the crop to come to fruition.
