10 of the best fruit and vegetables to plant now for a hassle-free harvest
A gardening guide that pushes back against the temptation to choose show-catalogue vegetables, arguing that reliability, yield and flavour matter more than novelty. It runs through ten specific low-fuss crops—vine tomatoes, mangetout, courgettes, chard, rhubarb, autumn raspberries, winter squash, kale, beetroot and French beans—naming tried-and-tested cultivars for each and giving concise sowing/spacing instructions. Worth keeping as a practical, cultivar-specific shortlist for planning an easier, more productive growing year rather than a general "how to garden" piece.
