What is the easiest vegetable to grow for beginners?
The easiest vegetables to grow include leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radishes, mustard greens, ‘lacinato’ and ‘red russian’ kale, collards, pole beans, swiss chard, green onions (from onion sets), and peas. To get a jump-start on your garden and grow some fast-growing, cold-tolerant plants you’re going to want to try out some radishes, turnips, sugar snap peas, kale and spinach.
What is the best vegetable to plant in October?
Mid-fall (September to early October): Plant root vegetables like carrots, turnips, and radishes. These need time to develop but grow quickly in cool weather. Late fall (October): Hardy greens like kale, winter lettuce, and chard can be planted closer to frost since they’re more cold-tolerant. Brassicas – kale, cabbage, turnips, and broccoli will all grow over the winter months. Some varieties of spinach beet will survive frosts. Root veg such as carrots and beetroot can be harvested late autumn, and stored carefully for several months. As can potatoes, onions and garlic.
Are there any vegetables that can be planted in October?
October is a great time to get ahead and make early sowings of hardy annual flowers and bedding plants, along with vegetable crops like onions, garlic, broad beans and peas. I plant winter (early-spring) lettuce in fall (autumn). These are cold-hardy to the point where they can oftentimes survive through the winter without any protection at all! I usually do the first sowings in the last week of August and then do a few more throughout the September.
