While they’re technically fruits, a good starter plant to grow is tomatoes. You can plant these in a pot or in your garden. Radishes are also an easy beginner plant.

For plant starts, use a hand shovel and dig a small hole big enough to put your plant in. Water your plant before you put it in so you can moisten the root ball and less the shock on the plant when you plant it. Sprinkle in a little bit of fertilizer and put your plant in. Then surround the plant with dirt and make a small circle around it for water. For seeds, stick your finger into the dirt where you want to plant the seed until the dirt reaches the second joint on your finger. Then sprinkle a little fertilizer in, place the seed inside, and bury it.

Sprinkle the garden with fertilizer every 3-4 weeks.
