Beginner’s Guide to Growing Vegetables: Top Vegetables to Start With

Starting your own vegetable garden can be a fun and healthy activity, but it can also be overwhelming if you’re not sure where to begin. Deciding which vegetables to grow can be challenging, with questions like “should I start with onions or beans?” or “asparagus or courgettes?”

While it’s important to grow vegetables that you enjoy eating, it’s also wise to consider the ease of growing each crop. For instance, aubergines can be quite challenging to grow, so it might be better to wait until your second year of gardening before attempting to grow them. Opting for crops that require minimal maintenance, have a short growth period, and are relatively resistant to pests and diseases is a good idea. Some examples of such crops include potatoes, radish, rocket, beetroot, beans, courgettes, and chillies.

How to Grow Vegetables?

When choosing a spot to grow vegetables, it’s best to select an area that is sheltered and receives ample sunlight. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Salad leaves and certain herbs can bolt in full sun and may thrive better in partial shade.

Start of by considering the amount of space you have available before planting. If you don’t have a large garden, you can still grow salad crops in window boxes, pots, or growing bags.

Before planting, prepare the soil by eliminating any weeds and adding well-rotted compost or manure, then rake it level.

When planting, avoid overcrowding and follow the spacing recommendations provided on the seed packet. If necessary, prick out any seedlings that are too close together.

To deter slugs and snails, use physical barriers like copper tape. For plants that are particularly vulnerable, such as salad leaves and courgettes, it’s best to start them indoors and transplant them when they’re strong enough to resist pests. If all else fails, use slug pellets made with iron phosphate, which are safer for wildlife.

Tips on Popular Vegetable to Grow

Beetroot

Directly sowing beetroot into shallow drills in the soil is a viable option, and you can expect to harvest them within a few weeks. It’s recommended to select a variety of beetroot that has a robust resistance to bolting, which is the tendency to prematurely run to seed.

Bush Tomatoes

Compared to cordon varieties, bush tomatoes are less demanding in terms of cultivation. Due to their compact size, they do not require support and their side shoots do not need to be pruned. Bush tomatoes can thrive in various settings such as hanging baskets or pots, both indoors and outdoors, making them a versatile option for growers.

Salad Leaves

Rocket and oak-leaf lettuce are perfect candidates for container gardening as they can be sowed in pots and harvested on a cut-and-come-again basis, which means you don’t have to worry about tending to the plants for an extended period. To add a splash of color to your salad, consider purchasing multiple varieties of salad leaves to sow together.

Peas

Growing peas can be easy, especially if you opt for a compact variety that doesn’t require staking. And you can grow them in a container, making them a perfect choice for those with limited outdoor space. Additionally, these plants offer a tasty and healthy addition to salads, as you can harvest the young tips and include them for a delicious spring treat. Moreover, you can look forward to enjoying the flowers and pods that follow.

Potatoes

Growing potatoes is easy – all you need to do is plant them in the ground or an old compost bag, and when the leaves first emerge, cover them with soil (known as ‘earthing up’). Harvesting can typically take place a few weeks later. It’s advisable to plant early potatoes in April and harvest them in July, before the hot and humid weather increases the risk of potato blight.

Courgette

Courgettes are a popular choice for those seeking a bountiful harvest from a limited number of plants. To maximize your yield, it is recommended that you cultivate your courgettes in rich soil and ensure they receive adequate watering. For optimal taste and texture, harvest your courgettes when they reach a length of no more than 10cm.

Radish

Radish seeds have a relatively large size, making them effortless to sow without the need for thinning out. These seeds mature quickly and can be harvested within a short span of a few weeks.
