I love growing vegetables. Even though I live in an apartment, I have been lucky enough to have two 3 foot X 12 foot allotment beds to care for. I have peas, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, kale, lettuce, beets, onions, cabbage, broccoli, beans, kohlrabi, potatoes, herbs, nasturtium and other flowers.
You can literally grow anything, anywhere. When rookie and I lived together, I cried and begged for a vegetable garden plot, so rookie tilled the drainage area across the street from us...something crazy like 50 feet X 6 feet (or was it more?—I’m super spatially challenged). We watered it daily but also had full advantage of the drainage whenever it rarely rained. People slowed down in their cars to see how it progressed.
My best advice:
Keep it simple
Plant what you like to eat
Put the seeds in the ground
Have faith, but keep it weeded—it’s ok to ignore
it for a little while every so often
Don’t be afraid to experiment
It’s ok if a crop “fails”, you can always re-plant,
and there will be another season
Enjoy!

I’m a big fan of kale, Nero de Toscana, which is a perennial for up to 3 years and also one of the most nutritious vegetables on the planet. I’ve nurtured 40 plants this year and have them under Environmesh. Last year I made the big mistake of resting the mesh over the plants which of course allowed butterflies to lay eggs on it 😫 so I’m expecting a bumper crop this year.
Have discovered that runner beans are a perennial so with our milder winters here in Wales I’ll be leaving my plants in this year. Also have experimented with maize this year and will be trying your Three Sisters planting next year to include squash and runner beans as was done in your Native American villages.
@kevcvs57 saidi am the anti-gardener
Sledgehammer, sand and paving slabs. That’s what I employed when I ended up paying for some else’s fetish.
i kill because it's there
not just weeds and thistles and kreeping kudzu
it's anything that gets in my hair
