There are lots of things you can plant this time of year. Gardening has many benefits; you’re outside, you can do it alone, you’re getting exercise, and best of all you get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. There is something very satisfying about being able to eat what you have personally grown. Things you can grow this time of year are lettuce, radishes, spinach, onions, peas, and carrots. Radishes are a good choice for children to plant as the seeds are relatively large and they grow quickly. You can be eating your radishes in about 25-30 days. Veggies can be grown anywhere, you don’t need an elaborate garden. Plants can even be grown in existing flower beds or in containers. You can buy seeds at a local garden shop or hardware store. It’s a good idea to buy major brands like Burpee as you will get a better percentage of seeds that sprout. So get out there and start to grow your own salad fixings!
