My favorite vegetable to grow is New Zealand Spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides). It grows well even during our hot summers & makes for some delicious summer salads!

I live in Northeast Missouri, zone 5b, where my favorite fail-proof crop is sweet potatoes! I love how easy they are to grow, the fact that they are virtually pest and disease free, and that they will store for months in a cool, dry location!

Once upon a time, I’d have said tomatoes. They always did so well for me, producing a huge crop that I could turn into salsa and marinara sauce. In my new location, though? I barely harvest enough for fresh eating.

What is growing well for me? Potatoes. And I especially love that even after I harvest the potatoes, I’m surprised by more plants emerging from the bits I accidentally left behind. These second generation potatoes are probably not the biggest or best, but I don’t have to put a bit of work into them until I harvest! https://www.attainable-sustainable.net/how-to-grow-potatoes/

I’d have to say chard, because it’s the only one i reliably don’t kill!

My best vegetable for a summer or winter garden (I live in a sub-tropical climate) is beetroot. I love the colour of the leaves which I feed to all of my caged birds; the beet can be grated and eaten raw, pickled, boiled, grilled . . . the options are endless. The water from the beet (haven’t tried the leaves) can also be used to die fabric. An all-round winner in my opinion.

My favorite vegetable to grow is the Kent Pumpkin. It’s easy to grow and even when there aren’t any pumpkins growing it still looks impressive!! Plus pumpkins store really well & have multiple uses.

I always plant peppers, both hot and sweet. We use them in many dishes and they are so good for you! I also always have squash, summer and winter, and love trying new varieties. Many of these keep well and all of them are healthy, nutritious and versatile.
