1. Radishes

Radishes are quick to mature and thrive in cool soil—perfect for early sowing or a late-season crop.

How to plant:
Sow seeds directly into well-prepared soil, 1cm deep and 2.5cm apart. Water regularly and harvest as soon as they reach size for the sweetest flavor.

2. Lettuce

Lettuce is fast-growing and can be sown in succession for a continual harvest.

How to plant:
Sow thinly in shallow rows, cover lightly with soil, and keep moist. Harvest leaves young for tender salads.

3. Carrots

Carrots can be started now for sweet roots by summer’s end.

How to plant:
Direct sow into loose, stone-free soil. Thin seedlings for best growth, and avoid overwatering.

4. Peas

Peas enjoy the cooler temperatures and will reward you with crisp pods.

How to plant:
Plant seeds in a sunlit area, about 5cm apart. Use stakes or netting for support, and harvest when pods fill out.

5. Spinach

Spinach is quick, nutritious, and easy to sow in early or late seasons.

How to plant:
Sow in rows or wide bands, thin seedlings, and keep soil moist. Pick leaves young for best flavor.
