Why beans are the perfect vege for newbie gardeners

Beans get my vote as the easiest vege to grow. They are a great crop for newbie gardeners – quick, prolific, delicious and scarcely troubled by pests and diseases (although slugs and snails will munch on the tender seedlings, so if you have problems with those pests, start beans in trays and transplant rather than sow direct). Otherwise find  a spot in the garden with free-draining soil and moderate sunshine (beans don't like it too hot) and sow direct. They'll be up in as little as a week.
