IF YOU GET A LATE START, TRY FAST GROWING VEGETABLES
It's the end of March, and some Families have already started their Gardens, and some will start them in the next few weeks. If bad weather happens, or life gets in the way, and you end up getting a late start, here are some fast growing vegetables that you can raise fast, and put on the table. A great list of vegetables that can be planted, grown, and harvested quickly so you can then plant additional vegetables in Spring/Summer.
We need to all be growing Home Gardens, even if just a small one, or just in containers on the patio. “Fast Growing” means 60 days or less to harvest....or great for your Garden.
Vegetables ready in 40 days or less include Loose-Leaf Lettuce, Mustard, Spinach, Radishes, and Chives.
Vegetables ready in 60 days or less include Zucchini, Summer Squash, Cucumbers, Carrots, Broccoli, Peas, Bush Beans, Kale, early Cabbage, Cauliflower, Beets, Turnips, Kohlrabi, Scallions, Collards, and Swiss chard.
Most herbs are Fast Growing, and are ready to harvest in 45-60 days, depending on variety. Basil and Cilantro are two of the fastest growing herbs to try in your garden.
Make sure, once you plant your Heirloom Seeds, that they get a lot of moisture for germination and emergence. We usually soak our Seeds for 4 hours in water before we sow them in the Garden. This softens up some of the harder shells, and it also gets a good amount of moisture into the Seeds, and gears them up for germination.
Once planted, your Seeds and then Seedlings will need 1 - 2 inches of water per week during this time. Your best bet is using a soaker hose, an irrigation method, or you can spray them with a mist early in the mornings. You can also use an Organic Mulch such as compost, grass cuttings, or straw to keep your plants cooler, and hold moisture in the soil.
