Tomatoes are extremely easy. I put them, beans, peppers, and okra at the top as beginner plants.

It ain’t hard if you’re not an idiot and have halfway decent growing conditions.
Which is what makes it hard, because things always change.
To try to say it's easy is being facetious or downright ignorant.

What? Squash and cucumbers are much easier than tomatoes.
Tomatoes have to be one of the most disease prone vegetables grown.
Some of yall are flat frickin nuts.

I'm not older but started my own garden this year. I water once a day and am getting great results.

Nah, squash borers make it harder for me to grow squash than tomatoes. Tomatoes have always been simple for me, not much problem with disease.
I forgot cucumbers, definitely one of the easiest

problem with 'maters these days is they have zero taste, my Dad was a maestro with his garden, it was his therapy, he would always save the seeds from the tomatoes each year for the next planting, I always wondered why and it recently dawned on me, if those tomatoes were delicious then their offspring would probably be good too

Growing tomatoes is easy. If I can do it, anyone can.
Obviously you have to grow them in the correct climate. I figured that was a given. Yes, growing tomatoes in arctic conditions can be challenging

Do you want to be my first client? You don't think we're upping the skill and difficulty quite a bit here? Do you think a farmer would do better flying a plane for the first time, or would a pilot do better growing some fricking bell peppers for the first time?
You don’t think growing a couple bell peppers is different then farming a couple thousand acres?

Growing 3 tomato plants doesn't count as "growing tomatoes".

Here you go. Changing the narrative. You started this back and forth by replying and saying…

Remember that? All I said was I have grown tomatoes and it was easy.

Do you think people aren't growing vegetables anymore?
There's more food being grown right now than at any point in history. And not just large scale either. Google permaculture and look what small scale farms are doing.
Go on YouTube and search HoneyTree Farm. Couple in their early 20s started a market garden business. I guarantee they know more about growing vegetables than your peepaw did.

I guess that I'm ignorant.
I planted 24 plants this year, a mix of heirloom and hybrid varieties. I started them from seeds. I have more tomatoes than I know what to do with. The hardest part was figuring out what kind of free stuff to tie them up with.

bruh. hit em with some hi yield and you're good. I agree with about 99% of what you say but you must have some shite soil conditions or something if you have that much trouble growing them

Even with all the rain we had in the spring keeping the plants wet, I still didn't have any disease issues.

I had hell with letting them ripen on the vine. Every time I'd try they'd bust open from all the water. Easy fix, though. I picked early.

You obviously haven't noticed the empty grocery store shelves that were in the Soviet Union, Cuba, and venezuela.
If it's so damned easy, what's the problem?
Biden has been in office seven months and we are already running short of some foods.

We all know it's part science and part art. We're just saying neither is in danger of being lost like OP is suggesting. That's just as facetious/ignorant as calling it easy.
