Lettuce – With a short growing season and continuous harvest, lettuce is a must-have for any beginner garden.

These veggies sprout quickly, need minimal care, and grow well in containers or garden beds. They're a great solution to have fresh veggies on hand without any unnecessary headaches.
When Should I Start Planting My Vegetable Seeds?
It depends on your growing zone and the vegetable variety. In general, cool-season crops like peas and spinach can be started in early spring, while warm-season veggies such as tomatoes and cucumbers should be planted after the last frost.
Keep in mind that your USDA hardiness zone will also play a role in when to plant your seeds.
Here's a quick look at common USDA zones:
-
Zones 3–4: Short growing seasons; start seeds indoors early and plant out after the last frost (around May–June).
-
Zones 5–6: Moderate growing seasons; sow cool-season crops in March–April and warm-season crops in May.
-
Zones 7–8: Longer seasons; you can begin cool-season planting in late winter and warm-season planting in early spring.
-
Zones 9–10: Very mild winters; most vegetables can be grown nearly year-round.

Should You Fertilize Before Planting Vegetable Seeds?
Yes, preparing your soil before planting can make a big difference. Mix in compost or a balanced fertilizer to give your seeds the nutrients they need to thrive.
Be sure to follow package instructions and avoid over-fertilizing, which can harm young seedlings.
How Long Does It Take for Cucumbers to Grow?
Cucumber seeds typically sprout in 3–10 days. From there, they’ll be ready to harvest in about 50–70 days, depending on the variety.
