Fresh and unadulterated vegetables are a huge advantage of growing your own vegetables. If you too want to grow your own food then start with these easy to grow vegetables in your own backyard with the help of these gardening tips.

4 Easy To Grow Vegetables:

1. Tomatoes: They are very commonly seen in almost all vegetable gardens. The reason is that they grow very easily. If you are planting good quality seeds then they will almost always sprout and all of them will. There only a few points you need to mind while planting tomatoes.

• Don't stuff too many seedling together or else the fight for space will surely kill some.
• The seed have to be sown just abut 4-5 mm into the soil. If they are too deep in the soil they won't sprout.
• Don't water seedlings too much until they bloom. Just wet the soil when the plant is growing or else water on alternate days.

2. Garlic: One extra reason to grow them is that they will make your garden smell great.

• As you know garlic is a root so you will have to give it enough spacing to grow individually.
• Garlic needs a blast of sunlight to grow so don't pamper it with shade
• The soil has to be well draining for the garlic plant to thrive because it is underground; the bulbs of garlic will just rot underneath if the water stays. Mix some sand into your soil if it seems moldy.
• Apart from being easy to grow vegetables they also have many medicinal properties so you should plant a few cloves.

3. Pumpkin: These huge (and magical) vegetables grow like weeds in your garden as they are perfect for our warm weather. All you have to do is take the effort to throw in the seeds.

• Pumpkins grow from the seeds that we throw away so just plug them into the soil instead.
• They grow as vines and thus grow in patches.
• Pumpkin patches are prone to white fungus and beetles because they are sweet. You have to keep the garden well weeded and dry to keep these away.
• Pumpkin leaves and stems can also be eaten along with the fruit then they are tender.

4. Peas: If you want to grow your own vegetables and enrich the soil along side then grow these legumes.

• Peas are leguminous plants; they put nitrogen back into the soil from their root nodules. So one season of peas will naturally fertilize your garden soil.
• They are creeper so you need to give them some basic support like sticks.
• They need moderate shade to grow as blazing sunlight will wilt them.
