5 Essential Spring Garden Vegetables

This guide of Spring vegetables to plant when the ground begins to dethaw is designed to help you get the most out of your seasonable garden! As soon as you receive a whisper of warmth from the weather, you can head outdoors to plant these popular vegetables. You’ll be able to harvest these veggies toward the end of Springtime and throughout the summer months. 

  • Peas

It’s no secret that peas are nutrient-dense and quite easy to grow! It’s important to plant peas at the very beginning of Spring in March and April. In some cases, you can even plant them as early as February! This plant matures the best during the cooler parts of Spring and before the weather turns too hot.

  • Broccoli

Have you heard the saying that vegetables “taste better when you grow them yourself”? While it’s not everyone’s favorite vegetable, we can’t deny that broccoli is good for us! You can plant broccoli about 2-3 weeks before the last frost of the year to get the most out of your plant.

  • Carrots

Planting Spring vegetables requires some dirty work! With carrots, you can expect to have your hands in the dirt quite a bit! You’ll know when these ground-dwelling root vegetables are ready to be pulled up when you begin to see them peeking out of the soil and when you can see that the tops are about an inch in width.

  • Scallions

Packed with Vitamins B2, K, and C, scallions are highly beneficial to have in your garden. In addition, you can’t have a delicious salad or casserole without sliced scallions! As they are smaller vegetables, you can pull these a lot quicker than carrots. Feel free to harvest your scallions as soon as the stem is thick enough to pull them out of the ground.

  • Spinach

Spinach likes to be grown in aged compost mixed with rich organic soil. Once you set this vegetable up for success, all you really have to do is sit back and watch them flourish! While harvesting spinach, it’s important to clip the leaves off close to the ground. You don’t want to pull out the entire plant from the ground, as this will keep it from continuing to produce.

Make a Meal with Your Garden Herbs! 

Once you harvest your vegetables, you can bring them indoors to begin preparing them for your next meal! Don’t forget to thoroughly wash your home-grown produce. For best results, roast your vegetables in a Retro Air Fryer Toaster Oven, which is renowned for being highly versatile for a variety of dishes!
