EXTREMELY new, need some ideas - Garden Plants and Gardening Forum

Hello all, I'm new to gardening and was needing some help. I am hoping to use the raised beds method. I was needing some suggestions on what to grow? What grows best here I guess? I would love VARIETY. I live in Seminole,Tx.Hardiness 7b. I have a 20' x 5' plot that gets 6-8 hours of morning light in the summer hours. I also have a 10' x 6' plot that gets about 10-11 hours of morning light. I am hoping to do atleast the 10' x 6' in 2 raised boxes 4'x4'. Growing however much corn I can fit in one box along with tomatoes in the other box. I am thinking potatoes and carrots in the bigger 20 x 5 plot. Also I was wondering how much corn and potatoes should I plant? Those would be the most used (corn,potatoes, and tomatoes). Thanks for any help!

Hi there, it had crossed my mind, while I was reading your post that if you need some help with rebuilding your garden or some outdoor works that need to be done, you can check the list of gardening specialists under gardening services in USA Good luck!

I hope you've already decided what to do and plant best in your garden. I hope to see some photos of it too.
