Growing your own food is the most gratifying and rewarding act on the planet. Plus, starting food from seeds is easy, inexpensive and fun. But planning a garden can be daunting and many gardeners do not know where to start. so here is ten Vegetables that are Easy to Grow from Seed
- Swiss Chard : Great late season crop with yummy colors. Enjoyable to eat and to look at.
- Spinach : These seeds were fantastic. Arrived quickly and grew lovely, tasty organic spinach in no time. I planted them the first weekend in September and we're eating delicious spinach today!
- Beans : They grow fast and yield heavily. The plants are very tiny and that can be an advantage for those who don't have enough space. Moreover, these green beans have a sweet captivating flavor.
- Beets : They are easy to plant. All they need is thinning, watering, and weeding.
- Cucumber : These got off to a slow start when I planted them in early summer, but they've really taken off in the past few weeks (early August) and the plants are now full of cucumbers and blossoms.
- Radishes : They sprout quickly and taste good. Plant about every two weeks for a continuous harvest.
- Lettuce : I tilled a little space in my garden, added some new soil and then planted a handful of seeds in three rows. Two weeks later they're growing! It's very exciting and they grow so quickly with very little maintenance needed! I water them every morning before work.
- Tomatoes : Germination rate was close to 100% and the plants are very robust and tolerate phytophtora very well.
- Peas : We have these planted Ina raised bed. They are super sweet and juicy. My kids eat them right off the plant. From one packet of seeds I am harvesting about 15 a day.
- Basil : They germinate very quickly and are very fragrant! They also taste wonderful.
