I live in the MidAtlantic of the US. In the past, I've grown (or tried to grow) tomatoes, green beans, lettuce, radishes, sugar peas. I've had mixed success - we seem to have a lot of beetles that kill the beans & peas.

Maybe you can find a way to deal with the beetles. I know the easiest veggies in Washington are zucchini. Onions and garlic and marigolds help to avert some critters. Go and peruse your garden center and they should be able to advise you about any specific problems. Take a bug in a baggie and see if they can help you. Peas beans lettuce spinach artichokes are fairly easy.Have Fun!

i know from experience your problem, ive learned that most vegetables which grow upward, in other words like a vine are best to grow and least suseptable to bugs, although you will always have bugs, walking or flying its best to cover the ground floor with a enviromentaly friendly pesticide just spread it around the base of the plant and cover the vegetables with a thin type of screen, that should work good luck

Don't grow anything. It looks like you don't want to, or don't know how to, observe the plants. All vegetables are susceptible to insects. They all must be watched. There are dozens of safe insecticides available, and most insects are killed by them, leaving the plants safe. Growing vegetables takes work. It is easy labor, but you still must expend a minimum amout of time.

As far as the beetles go if they are the ones that look like lady bugs.... Lady bugs will kill them so that helps.. Lady bugs and earthworms are great for your garden.
