Growing your own food is the most gratifying and rewarding act on the planet. Plus, starting food from seeds is easy, inexpensive and fun. But planning a garden can be daunting and many gardeners do not know where to start. so here is ten Vegetables that are Easy to Grow from Seed. 1. Swiss Chard : Great late season crop with yummy colors. Enjoyable to eat and to look at. 2. Spinach : These seeds were fantastic. Arrived quickly and grew lovely, tasty organic spinach in no time. I planted them the first weekend in September and were eating delicious spinach today! 3. Beans : They grow fast and yield heavily. The plants are very tiny and that can be an advantage for those who dont have enough space. Moreover, these green beans have a sweet captivating flavor. 4. Beets : They are easy to plant. All they need is thinning, watering, and weeding. 5. Cucumber : These got off to a slow start when I planted them in early summer, but theyve really taken off in the past few weeks (early August) and the plants are now full of cucumbers and blossoms. 6. Radishes : They sprout quickly and taste good. Plant about every two weeks for a continuous harvest. 7. Lettuce : I tilled a little space in my garden, added some new soil and then planted a handful of seeds in three rows. Two weeks later theyre growing! Its very exciting and they grow so quickly with very little maintenance needed! I water them every morning before work. 8. Tomatoes : Germination rate was close to 100% and the plants are very robust and tolerate phytophtora very well. 9. Peas : We have these planted Ina raised bed. They are super sweet and juicy. My kids eat them right off the plant. From one packet of seeds I am harvesting about 15 a day. 10. Basil : They germinate very quickly and are very fragrant! They also taste wonderful.
