Fast-growing vegetables — quick crops for impatient gardeners
Fast-growing vegetables are the quick wins of the kitchen garden — crops you can sow and harvest in weeks, not months. They're perfect for beginners, children and filling the gaps between slower veg, and they span our whole vegetable seed range. New to growing? Our vegetable growing guide gets you started in minutes.
Keep sowing for non-stop harvests. Little-and-often sowing is the secret — the calendar shows the windows.
The quickest crops to grow
Nothing beats radishes for speed, closely followed by cut-and-come-again salad leaves, baby spinach and quick lettuce. For the very fastest of all, grow microgreens and sprouts indoors in days.
Quick wins, little effort
Most fast crops are sown direct and need only thinning and watering — our watering guide keeps them tender. They're ideal for our container range, where a single pot or windowbox can crop again and again.
Gardening with children? Fast results keep young growers hooked — radishes and salad leaves rarely fail.
