9 Fastest Growing Vegetables

When you're starting an edible garden, it can be difficult to wait for your homegrown bounty to be ready for harvest. Produce such as tomatoes and peppers are notorious for long growing seasons.

So, plant some fast-growing vegetables to tide you over while you're waiting for the rest of your crops. If you sow a few seeds every other week, you'll have a continuous supply of fresh produce from your garden all summer long.

Here are nine plants that can be started early in the growing season and will be ready to harvest in about eight weeks.

Tip

The vegetables listed below are all considered cool season crops. They may require cool soil temperatures in order to germinate and cooler weather in order to develop the best flavor. Many will also benefit from some afternoon shade to prevent early bolting (going to seed).
