10 Fastest Growing Veggies for Your Garden

March 19, 2015 by Kasi Smith 4 Comments

Let’s face it: some of us just aren’t born with patience. We like to get things as quickly as we can. And that can sometimes keep us from planting a garden because we think it will take months and months to get the fruits and vegetables we want now! Well, no need to avoid gardening anymore! Here are 10 fast growing vegetables you can plant in your garden to get food quickly!

 Spinach

The great thing about spinach is that it can grow in areas of your garden that only get partial sunlight. You can get baby spinach leaves in about 35-40 days after planting.

    those so called baby carrots are not baby carrots. they are full sized carrots tumbled down to their tiny size. they are an invented product. You don’t grow them ,you buy them .

      True, but you can still pull them when they are smaller or “baby size”

      Diane & Joy, Please do some research. There are different types of REAL baby carrots because I have grown them. It is not a matter of just pulling full size carrots when they are young, if you leave them in the ground waiting for them to grow big you will be very disappointed. Go to any vegetable seed web site & look for them, you should be pleasantly suprised. Most of what you find in the grocery stores are ‘tumbled down’ …a way for the company not to waste the broken-off & mis-shapen larger carrots.
