I'm glad you're asking this! A vegetable garden is one of the most rewarding projects you can take on as a garden. And I can think of a few forgiving vegetables you could start with.
If you want something low-effort, then salad greens - such as lettuce and spinach - are excellent choices. They grow quickly and can even be harvested multiple times. You can begin harvesting leaves as soon as they're large enough to eat, encouraging new growth for future harvests.
Radishes are another ideal option for beginners. They are one of the fastest-growing vegetables, taking only about a month from sowing to harvest. And they are easy to care for.
Carrots are easy to grow too. They need loose, sandy soil to expand their roots but are otherwise unassuming. Just sow the seeds directly into the ground and keep the soil moist.
You should still research each veggie and look up gardening tips for all of them. Sites like
Gardener's Yards can help you with that. But you should be able to grow all of these without much headache.
