As an experienced gardener, I want readers to know that these healthiest vegetables are not necessarily easy to grow. If you are just starting out, I think you should look to your closest extension service or university for advice on crops in your area.

Sally, Thanks for your reply. Yes, your are correct. Some of these healthiest vegetables may not necessarily be easy to grow. It depends a lot on your climate and your experience. I have lived in several different states, with extreme environments (from MN to AL), and have learned how to grow all of them in these environments.

It is well worth the effort to learn how to adapt to your environment if you want to grow them badly enough. And for some, it may not be worth the effort, so I recommend going with the vegetables you enjoy growing and eating the most.

Hi,
It's great to see people more interested in gardening and nutrition.
We have unfortunately seen many newbie gardeners making bad choices in the garden. Hopefully, they can make better choices, and not get frustrated, using the resources you are sharing, and also found on this site.

Yes, It is easy to get frustrated, when things don't go well in the garden. A lot of gardening is trial and error. Hopefully, newbies can learn from this sight, and be encouraged to learn about each vegetable before planting.

Thanks for your input.
