Easy vegetables to grow in pots or garden beds: tasty crops to try

Some of the easiest vegetables to grow also happen to be some of the tastiest, so why not give them a go? Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned kitchen gardener who's a little short on time, planting these in your plot will be nothing but rewarding.

It's not just some types of veggies that are simple to grow – you can fill your whole garden with the best low maintenance plants if you want to. But, creating a zone specifically for crops – whether it's just a few pots or a bed or two, is well worth doing. After all, harvesting and cooking your own home-grown produce is one of life's greatest pleasures. And you can bet it will taste much better than anything from a supermarket shelf.

Plus, as a spokesperson for GardenBuildingsDirect.co.uk says, 'Not only is growing your own produce really sustainable, it's actually a great activity to stay active and have fun.' You'll find some of their top picks for the easiest vegetables to grow, plus a few of our own, below.
