Hi ladies- newb here

so i have been reading the last few pages of posts to get a feel for the board.  i would like to start gardening....eeeekkkkk!  i have never done it before and i don't know much about plants, flowers and veggies. 

i had heard about SFG months ago and would like to go that route.  anyone not like SFG and why?  we rent a house and will be buying and moving probably in a year, another reason i thought SFG was a good idea. 

what are good items to start with?  i thought of tomatoes, cucs, spinach, jalapenos, squash and then some pretty flowers.    are these good choices?  i will gladly take any and all advice.  thanks in advance!

  • I would start simple. You can by basically square foot gardens at Sams Club right now for about $40. Much cheaper than I spent last year making my own.

    Stay simple. I would only do 3-4 things this year.  Tomatoes, Cukes and Squash are all pretty easy to grow.

    I?ve never tried SFG, but when I started I started with zucchini and found it to be super easy to grow, produced lots so I could give some away. The other things that I?ve liked have been Swiss Chard (very pretty and tastier than spinach), tomatos, bell peppers and arugula. GL!
