I'll ad onions to the list. They'll grow just about anywhere, with very little care. Radishes are another. You can plant'em, real early, and be eating them way before the other veggies are ready.

Thanks for all the info, I don't know if we will be able to make an attempt at a garden this year or not. Might have to wait till next year. I really need to find a tiller.
Get a tiller attachment for one of the Bolens.....

I don't know if I will be able to do a garden this year or not but I wanted to find out what some of the easiest crops/plants would be to plant the first time around and have it turn out to be a success rather then a bunch of withered plants that died LOL

If one is inclined to use garlic for cooking, I find it the easiest of all garden plants I've ever tried. I don't mess with that little stuff but raise a variety called elephant garlic. It is real mild and the garlic X-perts claim it is really a Leek. It can be planted now thru October or even later but I find it does better planted a little earlier. Plant the cloves and cover with about a foot of straw and then maintain 6 inches of mulch. No weeding and no water needed unless it is exceptionally dry in May and June. Harvest in late June. The three stages in the pics are bolting, bloom and cloves at harvest time. If one can't grow garlic he needs to seriously consider giving up gardening.
