Seeds to Plant in Early Spring
Spring has sprung, darling—and it’s time to trade in those winter blahs for garden yas. Early spring is prime time to get those seeds in the dirt and manifest some serious green goddess energy. So grab your gloves, sip that iced coffee, and let’s sow some magic!
1. Lettuce & Leafy Greens
These babies love the chill! Think romaine, spinach, arugula, and kale. They don’t mind a little frost, and they grow fast—because who wants to wait forever for their salad vibes?
2. Peas (Sweet, Snap & Snow)
Peas are the early birds of the veggie world. They adore cool weather and are basically begging to be planted now. Plus, watching those curly tendrils grow? Total cottagecore joy.
3. Carrots
Get those root babies in early and you’ll have a crunchy rainbow ready in no time. Bonus points for trying out fun varieties like purple or yellow carrots—because why be basic?
4. Radishes
The overachievers of the spring garden. They grow fast—we’re talking ready in 3-4 weeks fast. Great for impatient gardeners (aka most of us).
5. Beets
Beets are bold, beautiful, and built for cooler temps. Plant now for a juicy harvest later. And don’t forget—those leafy tops? Totally edible and delish sautéed.
6. Broccoli & Cauliflower
Yes, queen! These cruciferous cuties thrive when it’s still a little chilly. Start from seed or go with starters if you’re in a rush to roast some homegrown florets.
7. Turnips
Underrated and fabulous. These little root veggies are super cold-tolerant and perfect for early spring sowing. Plus, they’re way more glam than they get credit for.
8. Swiss Chard
If rainbow-colored leaves that can survive a cold snap don’t scream plant me now, I don’t know what does. Bonus: looks amazing in your garden and your feed.
9. Onions & Shallots
Pop in those onion sets or seeds now for a summer harvest that’ll have you crying—but in a good way. Pro tip: mix red, yellow, and white for flavor and flair.
10. Herbs Like Parsley & Cilantro
Cool temps keep herbs like cilantro from bolting too fast. Get them in early and you’ll be garnishing tacos and fancy lemon water in no time.
So there you have it—your early spring seed squad, ready to bring your garden (and your mood) back to life.
Now go out there and plant like the fabulous earth goddess you are!
