3 Vegetables to Plant in Your Spring 2022 Garden

Cucumbers make for an excellent addition to any spring garden.

We can't express enough how excited we are for spring 2022! Gardening is a great activity we can't wait to get back to; It reduces stress, promotes Vitamin D intake, increases serotonin, and overall is a great hobby to share with friends and family. Gardening also influences what we eat, and if you've never cultivated your own garden, you might be wondering what kinds of veggies you can plant that will improve your diet. We're here to share our favorite ones: 

Arugula and mixed lettuces

Arugula, romaine, and other lettuce plants will provide the base foundation for all the salads you could put together with your other veggies! Since greens don't do so well in heat, they're much easier to plant in the spring in comparison to those hot summer months. In general, it's advised to harvest after at least 30 days. 

Cucumbers

Although cucumbers won't be the best option for early spring, they're still worth planning space for during this time of year; they'll use most of your garden space. They won't handle the frost like other crops do (for instance, potatoes), so you'll want to wait until late spring to drop their seeds in the ground.  

Tomatoes

Tomatoes, like cucumbers, also do best in late spring. They'll make an important addition to your garden because they're a rich source of Vitamin C, and are known for reducing the risk of heart disease! 

To complement the vegetables growing in your garden, you'll want to plant beautiful wildflowers in your yard. These are best planted in early spring, and you can find them at our store near Mansfield, Ohio. We also have plenty of fertilizer, soil conditioners, chemicals for weed reduction, organic solutions, grass seed mixtures, and more.
