Planting certain vegetables in spring will give you a season-long supply of healthy additions to your favorite meals. They add color to your garden as it slowly awakes from its winter slumber.

Lettuce

Lettuce may need some cover to protect it during the early days of spring, but it can grow in challenging weather conditions.

Look into growing varieties that re-grow after cutting to guarantee a season-full supply of this salad staple.

Asparagus

As a perennial, asparagus grows back season after season. With each year, the quality and quantity a plant produce seem to improve.

Nurture those little shoots as soon as they become visible.

Rhubarb

Rhubarb is also a perennial, so you’ll simply have to wait for it to start growing. Rhubarb grows prolifically, so expect a healthy supply of this sweet ‘fruit’.

Spinach

This vegetable prefers cooler air. It grows quickly and will soon be on your table. But bear in mind that as you harvest it, you must plant new spinach.

Peas

Peas may not like very cold temperatures, but they also don’t like heat, so spring is the ideal time to plant them.
