I tried to plant five seed potatoes in 2017. I ended up with maybe two pounds of little potatoes. So the next year I planted more. And kept planting after that, along with a bunch of other veggies.
In 2024 I ended up with several milk crates full of potatoes that I ended up giving away to anyone who asked, tons of tomatoes, herbs, cucumbers, onions, lettuce, cabbage… I moved in the middle of the planting season in 2025 and didn’t get much growing, but I’m already working on the garden for 2026…
Just plant something. There are hours of videos and probably thousands of books written over hundreds of years that explain how to make things grow, and learning how to keep stuff alive is half the fun.
I am bad with plants and watching them slowly die will not help the dread.
If you have the space, check out aerogardens or any of those aeroponic types. They are very easy to get plants going with very little effort, especially if you get an excess water reservoir. I’m pretty sure there are also instructions to build your own somewhere online.
I have 2 set up that I grow lettuce and herbs in for my rabbits, but you can grow lots of different plants in it.
