Gardening is a process that only improves with practice.  Every year, we grow a certain veggie or fruit and invariably something surprises us and goes really well or we end up with less than expected. Share your success and failures with us.  We would like to know what varietals you consider most difficult and which are easy as a novice to grow and produce a desired amount of food.  We look forward to hearing from you and as always, happy gardening!
