Potato

Grow potatoes to help break up the soil in a new garden. The crop will be a bonus.

Pumpkin

Cucumber

Like pumpkins, cucumbers have separate male and female flowers. Only the female flowers will develop fruit.

Beans

Sweet Corn

The only member of the grass family that is grown as a vegetable, sweet corn has spread from its original home in the Americas to become a staple food in many parts of the world.
