I'm new to gardening and would love some advice on easy-to-care-for plants. I've had mixed results in the past—right now, I've successfully grown peppermint and my tomatoes are starting to bud! I did try potting flower seeds and saw some sprouts, but unfortunately, they didn't last. I also have a Marble Queen plant that seems to be doing alright, though I find myself having to trim a leaf or two here and there. What suggestions do you have for beginner-friendly plants that I can try?

Since you’ve already gotten the hang of tomatoes, why not try some zucchini, cucumbers, peas, beans, lettuce, and beets? They’re all pretty easy to grow, and you can plant them directly into the soil!
Any herb is typically a safe bet for beginners. You might want to try oregano, basil, dill, chives, or any of the mint varieties. They’re all quite forgiving! If you're feeling a bit adventurous, asparagus can be a breeze to grow, but it does take a few years to really take off.
Thank youu for the suggestion! I'll give these babies a try 🙂
