If there was a chart of this kind of thing or a solid non-SEO-spam resource, that would be helpful, too.

    if you've never grown anything before, do (non-Asian) radishes

    it's idiotproof and also more satisfying than growing leaves

      be me

      try grow radishes

      radishes are as thin as hairs

      the thickest radish maybe a pinky finger, but with big huge leaves

      all I'm growing is leaves for the slugs to eat

        did you do anything special to the soil? That seems like high nitrogen soil

        I just planted them and barely even watered them and they were perfect, harvest in 1 month after seeding

          I think the problems are manifold here

          started growing too hot, it's been in the 90s all summer

          put too many in the same container because I'm not Container Rich

          soil probably isn't nitrogen rich because I errrr uhhhh have been re-using soil, but I do occasionally give it a bit of that Miracle Grow (tm)

          the most Radishy Radish I'm growing has been growing for probably two months now, and I destroyed all the others in its container. It's still not getting much thicker though. Every single one of them seems to be growing root tissue above the soil which I feel like might contribute to them not thickening up

          I figure I'll just keep watering them until they either seed or die
