What Are The Easiest Fruits, Flowers, And Vegetables To Grow?
Posted by admin on January 30, 2010
I live in Northeast Louisiana. I’m purchasing 4 Acres of land what are the easiest fruits and vegetables to grow? I have no gardening or farming experience of any kind. What fruits, flowers, vegetables and plants will thrive in this area? I also would like to have a mini Orchard any ideas? Thank You!
Hiya,
I recommend the beefsteak tomatoes or pumkins. They seem to be very good to grow all over.

I believe that you are going to find, as you progress in your career as a gardener, that what is “easy” for one person is not for another. You will discover your own specialties, all by yourself.
For example, I am never so amused as when I contemplate my own past as a gardener, when I discovered that I could not convince a zucchini to grow, yet could proudly display a carpet of Gentiana Verna so covered in bloom that the foliage beneath was hidden.
I urge you to experiment with plants that take your breath away….and never waste your time trying to be “safe” with the “easy” stuff.
As for veggies.
Lettuce is great. It comes up fast and can be replanted for a second crop.
But I am in zone 5a.
As for fruit.
Our blueberry bushes get many berries every year.
For your area contact your local “Cooperative Extension”. They will have a list of what grows best in your area.
