Holy basil is an herb from India with several mentioned benefits. Like many herbal products, those benefits are not well established. However, what is unquestioned is: it is easy to grow; it is a beautiful plant with purplish flowers; and is a great culinary herb. I keep a pot or two on my deck all summer. Not just for the above reasons. Anytime you walk by it or brush against it you get an incredibly pleasant fragrance. Lastly, over the summer a pot or two of my herbs dies or fazes out. When that occurs, I take a snip of Holy Basil, stick it in the pot, and water. I have a new plant for the rest of the summer and well into the fall.
The easiest thing that I am growing is my garden in mint. It is such a low maintenance herb, even for us who aren't skilled gardeners. It is a high yielding plant so you might end up with more than you thought, but it also freezes well so you can use it all year round, which is handy as it absolutely delicious and so versatile. In the winter you can make a lovely mint sauce for your roast dinners, and in spring or summer, it is so refreshing in soups, risottos and of course mojitos.
Sunflowers are possibly the easiest and most rewarding flowers to grow. Ranging from 2 feet up to 10 feet tall, sunflowers have stunning architectural stems offering height as no other annual plant can. With huge bright yellow, orange, or red flower heads, they can be used as cut flowers in the home. Then when they're finished dry them, and use the seeds to grow more or feed the birds. Easy, unusual, fun, and outstanding value.

The easiest and best thing I'm growing in my garden is basil. Not only is it a delicious herb that can be used in a variety of dishes, but it also requires minimal effort and attention to thrive. One of the most essential things I've learned from growing basil is the importance of pruning. By regularly pinching off the top leaves of the plant, I'm able to encourage new growth and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy or bushy. This not only ensures a steady supply of fresh basil leaves throughout the growing season, but also helps to maintain the overall health and vitality of the plant. Additionally, I've learned that basil is a great companion plant for other vegetables, such as tomatoes and peppers, as it can help repel pests and attract beneficial insects to the garden. Overall, growing basil has been a rewarding and educational experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to start a garden.
As an organic farmer, I'd say tomatoes are the best and easiest crop I raise in my yard. Once grown, they take very little upkeep and thrive in hot, dry conditions. Tomato plants can produce a lot of tasty and nutrient-rich fruit throughout the growing season with correct soil preparation, consistent watering, and good pruning practices. Tomatoes may be utilized in a wide range of recipes, from salads to sauces to sandwiches, in addition to being simple to cultivate. I take satisfaction in producing tomatoes as an organic farmer without the use of artificial fertilizers or toxic pesticides, which produces a crop that is healthier and more sustainable.
The easiest and best thing that I’m growing in my garden is lettuce. Never in my experience has a garden failed to produce lettuce. Lettuce can be started inside for transplanting or directly sown in your garden plot. One of the few crops that may be cultivated year-round in our area, it should be sheltered and harvested at reduced sizes during hotter months. In the shadow, lettuce grows more slowly and bolts less quickly, extending the amount of time it may be harvested. You'll never grow tired of producing new lettuce kinds because there are so many different leaf shapes and green and red colorations available. Leaf lettuces can be harvested numerous times from the same plant by simply snipping off what you require each time as they grow. Romaine and head lettuce should be thinned if you want them to grow into full heads. Plants should be spaced 8 to 10 inches apart. Save the exquisite tiny leaves from thinning young plants for salads.
I recently planted cherry tomatoes in my garden. The best thing about growing them is that you can be rewarded quickly for your work; in just a few short weeks, you will be able to harvest ripe, juicy tomatoes and enjoy them either raw or cooked in a variety of ways. Not only are they delicious, but they are surprisingly easy to care for - their adaptability to almost any soil allows them to flourish easily for weeks at a time with just a bit of regular watering. This makes harvesting an incredibly enjoyable activity.
