Growing veggies at home.

I agree the tomatoes grown in a home garden do taste a lot better and I found that they taste sweeter too.

My grandparents grow their own peppers, and those are definitely the best peppers that I have ever had. They have a lot more flavor than ones I buy at the store. I would love to try their home grown tomatoes but haven't yet.

My stepbrother is a chef and grows all of his own vegetables which is fantastic. You can taste the difference for sure when the food is fresh from the ground. When I have a place with a bit more space I want to grow peppers, tomatoes and a few other ones for my own cooking.

Oh yes, they're wonderful! To answer the original question, I agree about tomatoes being a good place to start. When I've done it, though, I bought the starter plants, I didn't start from seeds. Peppers are pretty easy, like someone said. Cucumbers are easy... peas are easy but the yield isn't so great if you're feeding more than one or two people.

Yep, I tried growing tomatoes once right from the seeds and it didn't go well at all but the next summer I used starter plants and had much better results. A lot of veggies are easy to grow if you do a tiny bit of trial and error.

My half brother is a chef and is growing their own vegetables, which is great. You can certainly taste the difference when the food is fresh from the country. When I place a little more space I want to grow peppers, tomatoes and a few others are their kitchen.
