If You Could Grow Only One Crop This Season, What Would It Be?

[TEG Project Manager]

Imagine this: space, time, or resources are limited, and you can only dedicate your garden to one single crop this season. What would you choose? Would it be a staple like tomatoes or potatoes for their reliability and versatility? A leafy green like kale or lettuce that keeps giving? Or maybe something indulgent—like strawberries or melons—for that sweet garden-to-table treat?

This is a fun way to reflect on what truly matters in your garden—flavor, nutrition, practicality, or maybe even nostalgia. Every gardener has that one plant they just can’t imagine going without.

So, tell us—what would your one must-grow crop be this season, and why?

Tomatoes, the only food crop I grow consistently each year (and then only on a small scale).
