Starting your first urban garden is exciting! For planter boxes, choose plants that are forgiving and productive. Herbs are fantastic beginners. Basil grows quickly from seeds or seedlings, and snipping leaves encourages more growth. Mint is incredibly resilient but best grown alone in a pot as it spreads aggressively. Parsley and chives are also low-fuss classics. For vegetables, leafy greens like lettuce and spinach are perfect. They grow fast and you can harvest "cut-and-come-again" style. Cherry tomatoes are rewarding; choose a compact "patio" variety and provide a small stake. Radishes mature in just weeks, offering instant gratification. For color and resilience, try marigolds to deter pests, or nasturtiums—their edible flowers add spice to salads. Finally, consider succulents like sedum or hen-and-chicks for a drought-tolerant option. The key is to match your box's sunlight (6+ hours for tomatoes, 3-4 for herbs/lettuce) and water consistently when the top inch of soil is dry. Start simple, enjoy the process, and soon you'll be harvesting your own urban oasis.
