Lazy gardener

Hollylasue · December 7, 2016

I have a friend at work who loves fresh produce (especially tomatoes, cucumbers and watermelon) but is really too lazy to garden. She has a 12x12 raised bed that was constructed 5 years ago with just basic topsoil.She has added nothing to it.The first year she planted 36 tomatoes,6 peppers,6 cucumbers,4 zuccini and some variety of green beans.Nothing was planted the next 3 years.Last year she pulled up half the crab grass and planted 6 tomatoes.Cherokee purple and Brandywine and some blue ribbon tomato.She got 3 tomatoes.This year her little girl wants to grow her own garden so what are some ( if any) varities that are easier and less demanding.I know she will do nothing to amend the soil at all because " it has barely been used" and anytime I mention weeding or fertilizing or spraying she says she doesn't have time.Thanks for any advice!
