Easy Vegetable Garden

So you want to grow a vegetable garden, but have no idea where to start. Don't worry. Even if you have little experience or little space, you really can grow abundant, fresh veggies. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or just a small balcony, you can do it. Whether you're a gardening novice or a green thumb just wanting to grow vegetables with the least amount of time and effort, we'll make it easy for you. 

The list below includes vegetables that are typically most easy to grow. They are relatively easy because they're pretty hardy, low-maintenance plants. Of course, you can't just plant them and walk away hoping they'll thrive. But, if you plant them where they receive the sunlight they need and water regularly, these vegetables are the ones most likely to flourish.

Lettuce and other salad greens
