What do you guys say the easiest things to grown in a garden are? This would be a remote location that I may only be able to go to once a week so something that requires daily watering would be out.
I was thinking maybe melons,pumpkins and squash.

Green beans. Get the bush type. You will need to pick regularly when they start producing.

Green beans are easy but they would need to be picked more than once a week when they start producing. Melons don't need that much attention and neither do peas but the deer love them!! Yep, peppers are an easy crop too. When okra starts producing you would need to pick it more than once a week or you would have pods a foot long and not worth eating when they get hard. Good luck with it!
Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.

yellow squash, cucumbers,bell peppers,eggplant, 3 kinds of cantaloupe, yellow and 3 different kinds of red watermelons and 2 different types of pumpkins in the ground today. This rain should give em a good start.

Squash is by far the hardest thing to grow in my garden. See vine borers post. We can't get a single plant to survive the onslaught here. Yep I agree. I’ve never had a jalepeno plant fail.

Squash is the hardest then melons. Melons are hard because they require quality soil and water.
. I hope its suitable ground. It was a tomato farm for quite a while, then let mostly go wild with trees and such for the last 12-15 years. Im planting the areas that had no large trees and was mainly blackberry thickets and weeds. Soil is sandy loam on top but about a six inches to a foot down hit clay in most areas. I will do a soil test for next year.

May be the vine borers are not as bad in your neck of the woods. I have also quit trying in my area. Beautiful plants and blooms everywhere. Start getting a few and then next day, dead as a hammer.

I'm planting 3 times as many squash as I typically do because I know the vine borers are going to take them out in a hurry. It sucks.
