The easiest vegetables to grow in raised beds are the ones that suit your bed depth, your sun and your season. The bed itself is the other half of the question. This page does not list crops. It compares six raised beds and planters on their stated size, material and features, so you have somewhere good to plant.
For which crops to grow and how to lay them out, read Best Vegetables to Plant in Raised Beds, Best Veg to Grow in Raised Beds and Best Vegetables That Grow Well Together in Raised Beds.
Quick answer
For a simple, lightweight first bed, the KLEWEE and CJGQ fabric beds are both 6 x 3 FT class and black. If you want a metal frame, the Miory is a 6x3x1 FT galvanized bed with a cover, and the Mostmahes is an 8×4 FT oval pair. The Land Guard is an oval metal kit. The Antmoilios is different: a vertical, self-watering tomato planter on lockable wheels, so it suits patios rather than open beds.

Buying checklist
- Measure the space first. The beds range from 6 x 3 FT to 8×4 FT.
- Check depth. Only the Miory and CJGQ titles give a 1 ft height.
- Choose fabric if you want light and movable, metal if you want a rigid frame.
- Count the units. The Mostmahes comes as a pair.
- Plan your soil volume. The CJGQ lists 128 gallons, and the others do not state a volume.
- Check your hours of direct sun and your frost-free season before choosing crops.
FAQ
Does this page say which vegetables are easiest?
No. The product listings here describe beds, not crops. For crop advice, see the related guides on this site about vegetables to plant in raised beds.
Which bed is the lightest?
The KLEWEE and CJGQ are fabric beds and the listings call them lightweight. The metal beds do not state a weight.
Which bed is the biggest?
The Mostmahes is titled 8x4FT and comes as a pack of 2. The Land Guard does not state a size.
Is the Antmoilios a good choice for a garden bed?
It is a single vertical planter with a tomato cage, trellis and wheels. It suits a patio or small area, not a large open bed.
How deep are these beds?
The Miory and CJGQ titles say 6x3x1 FT or ft. The KLEWEE, Land Guard and Antmoilios do not state a depth, and the Mostmahes title says only tall.
Closing note
