I have been wanting to garden for a long time now because my favorite food is homemade salsa and i want to be able can my own. I had tried to grow things like tomatoes and it just didnt work. What time of year should things start to be planted? what types of things are good to have that are some what easy to keep up?
Any gardening types are super helpful.

Hi there Akinis The first thing to consider is the amount of space that you have - are you restricted to growing things in pots (although this is often best for tomatoes and chillis anyway) or do you have a large space to work with. If you're in the UK, the best supplier I've found for organic seeds etc is The Organic Gardening Catalogue - lots of options and at sensible prices, complete with planting tips. I've been growing more and more over the years and found that carrots, spinach, onions, lettuce, potatoes and raddishes are probably some of the easiest veg to get going with. Onions sets are planted in March / April, and potatoes generally after the last frosts have past. Carrots, radishes, spinach and lettuce from May to July. Have you tried growing tomatoes from seed or from small plants?
