According to the National Gardening Association’s 2009 survey, we have the Top 10 Most Popular Homegrown Vegetables.
Drum roll, please. Are you ready? I’m feeling a little like David Letterman.
Here are the Top Ten Most Popular Vegetables:
- Tomatoes
- Cucumbers
- Sweet Peppers
- Beans
- Carrots
- Summer Squash
- Onions
- Hot Peppers
- Lettuce
- Peas
Rutabaga was last on the list. Surprised?
Are these vegetables in your gardening plan? They are all pretty hearty and successful plants. Substitute with a few other companion plants and herbs, and you got a pretty big garden.
If you are gardening in confined spaces, these top 10 Popular Homegrown Vegetables will grow well in containers, too. Space isn’t the big issue. Sunlight is! Make sure with climbing beans and peas, you provide a trellis for them to grow. Hot Peppers and tomatoes grow well in upside down planters.
