plant this season? I'm a first time gardener.

I live in Ohio if climate matters, and I want it to be outdoors. Veggies that are relatively easy to grow would be nice. I want to save a little on my grocery bill and I also just like the idea of growing my own food. Thanks!
 
Tomatoes, broccoli, bush beans, cucumbers, peppers are all easy vegetables to grow.

Broccoli likes cool weather so early planting works well - you have to cut it before it flowers which will happen if the weather is too warm.

Beans and cucumber seeds need the ground to be warm to germinate. I grow my cukes on a piece of fence so they grow upward instead of sprawling all over.

Tomatoes need to be staked.

Each year you need to rotate the garden plot so veggies are in another spot.

Use black plastic to keep down weeds and keep moisture in the ground. I cut coffee can size holes when planting the veggies. Good luck. You will love it.
 
Tomatoes are probably your biggest saver, very easy to grow. Peas, Bell Peppers and cucumbers are relatively easy, different types of lettuce and herbs too

After May 15th it is safe to put almost anything out. Rule of thumb on corn is knee high by the 4th of July so you need to get it in soon. Remember to plant the taller plants in the back so they won't block the others from getting sun and leave room for the cucumbers and zucchini to run. Radishes and onions should not be planted too close to other plants because they can effect the flavor of some other vegetables if planted too close. Good Luck to you!
