Easiest Plant To Grow

[rosemarythyme]

I chose lettuce and herbs (specifically chives) - my original chive plant is 9 years old I think? All my chives are descended from that one plant. Even when we moved and I forgot about it and forgot to water it it still came back the next spring.

Surprised so many folks have a hard time with carrots, I've grown them even in lousy quality (but loose) soil. I get so many carrots I have to hold back from seeding more, because I know I'll end up with too much by fall.

Oh, I should add turnips too! It's a running joke with my family, I grow turnips because they grow so easily, not because anyone wants to eat them. But I can't stop growing them because I know for sure they'll grow well, no matter what.

Same here. Have you grown 7 top turnips? They are for the greens and don't form an actual turnip.

I've heard of them and have them on my list of things to try, but currently growing the old reliable Purple Top.

My kids will eat rutabagas and gilfeathers if I saute them in a lot of butter.

I don't grow rutabagas but have no problem eating them. No amount of butter makes a turnip un-turnipy. By far my preferred methods for serving turnips is mashed in a casserole with carrots (as the carrot flavor dominates, but the turnip helps it from being too carrot-y), or as a replacement for radish in radish cakes, but that's something only I like so I mostly eat it by myself.
