Easy Home Growing Vegetables And Fruits

To ensure that your kitchen garden is a success, choose the easiest vegetables and fruits to grow. Growing your own crops from tiny seeds is one of the most fulfilling things in life. Homegrown vegetables and fruits are not only tastier, but also healthier and free of chemicals.

Here are some easy-to-grow edibles that show how easy it is to grow and enjoy your own fruits and vegetables

Tomatoes

No matter what type of tomatoes you prefer, these heat-loving topicals can be grown in large decorative containers or veggie plots. You can keep them healthy by using plant cages, which also make harvesting easier.

Spring onions

Eight weeks after sowing, spring onions start producing a crop. Seeds should be sown between March and July, and you can even self-seed a couple of spring onions if you leave them to flower. You can grow these compact but tasty vegetables in patio pots, window boxes, or on the ground.

Radishes

They are tasty additions to salads, while some varieties are also delicious in stir-fries. In most conditions, these spicy little roots can be harvested in a month or less when seeded directly in the ground. Radish plants tend not to struggle with pests and are somewhat frost tolerant, which is one reason they’re so easy to grow.

Beetroot

An essential addition to your vegetable garden, beets or beetroot are compact, colourful, and relatively trouble-free. The vegetables can be eaten fresh in salads or roasted as a side dish. Begin planting them in the spring and continue every couple of weeks. You don’t have to discard the leaves simply sauté until tender.

Carrots

Carrots can be grown very similar to growing radishes. Use a short variety to decrease growth time. When the tops of the carrots begin to pop through the soil, you can harvest them.

Strawberries

It is impossible to beat the sweet, juicy flavour of strawberries picked right from your own strawberry plant. You can plant these versatile fruits in containers, window boxes as long as the soil is well-drained and they receive adequate sunshine.

Figs

It is best to plant your fig trees against a hot, sunny south/west facing wall. Fig trees are excellent container plants due to their roots being restricted. At the end of summer, enjoy the taste of fresh, sun warmed figs protected from deep frost.

Apples

From mid-summer to late autumn, apple trees produce fruit. During the winter, prune your trees to keep them healthy by planting them in fertile, well-drained soil. A dessert apple is sweet enough to eat straight from the tree, whereas a cooking apple is perfect for baking into pies and sauces. It is possible to grow compact dwarf varieties in patio containers even if you don’t have space for a full-sized tree.

Blueberries

In containers, blueberry plants are ideal and look fantastic on your patio where their colourful autumn foliage and scented spring flowers add seasonal interest. For best results, fill your containers with ericaceous compost and water with rainwater collected from the roof.

Melons

You probably think of watermelon when you think of summer and fruit; it’s one of summer’s quintessential fruits. Melons are a great way to get homegrown fruits without committing to a perennial plant. People often assume that melons require too much space to grow in a backyard, but that is not true. Many melon varieties can be grown in containers!
