What vegetables are best to grow in spring?

It is spring now. The temperature in many places is slowly rising. There is also abundant rainfall in this season. All things are reviving, which makes it suitable for planting many plants. As long as they are managed properly, they can achieve good growth. Let’s find out what vegetables are best to plant in spring?

1. Loofah

When planting loofah in spring, the seeds should be sown after the temperature rises. Since loofah is a warm-loving and heat-resistant crop, its seedlings grow slowly under low temperatures, so it is necessary to wait until the temperature stabilizes in spring before planting.

2. Lettuce

Lettuce, a vegetable belonging to the Asteraceae family, is loved by people for its crisp taste and elegant aroma. It is not only suitable for eating raw, but also can be eaten after cooking. This vegetable has vigorous growth, matures quickly, and is rarely troubled by pests and diseases during its growth cycle. Lettuce has strong adaptability to the environment and can withstand both cold and high temperatures.

In spring, as long as the temperature is stable, there is no frost, and the daytime temperature remains above 15 degrees Celsius, it is suitable for growing lettuce. The planting process is very simple: just use a pickaxe to make a few shallow grooves on the ground, spread the seeds evenly in the grooves, and then cover them with a layer of fine soil about 1 cm thick. Alternatively, you can sprinkle the seeds directly on the soil surface and then cover with soil. Soon after sowing, the lettuce seedlings will break through the soil. After about a month of growth, the lettuce can be harvested and gradually enters the picking period.

3. Eggplant

As eggplant is one of the vegetables that can be grown in spring, it is crucial to choose varieties with strong disease resistance and abundant yield. Before sowing, the seeds should be pretreated to promote germination. First, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. This helps soften the seed coat and activate the seeds' growth potential. After soaking, the seeds need to be removed and rinsed with clean water to remove the mucus attached to the seed coat, which helps prevent the seeds from getting moldy in the soil.

4. Garlic sprouts

Spring is also a good time to sow garlic seedlings. You can choose to plant whole garlic cloves directly into the soil, or plant cloves that have already started to sprout. Under mild climatic conditions in spring, whether garlic is planted directly or planted for sprouting, a rich germination rate can be obtained and management is relatively simple.

However, it is worth noting that garlic sprouts have a greater demand for water during the seedling stage. In order to ensure the healthy growth of garlic seedlings, they need to be watered frequently to ensure that the soil maintains appropriate humidity. Proper water supply is essential for the growth of garlic sprouts and can promote their healthy growth. With proper water management, your garlic sprouts will be able to grow smoothly and eventually give you a bountiful harvest.

5. Scallions

When temperatures become comfortable and stable in spring, it is the best time to sow shallots. The sowing process is very simple. Just spread the green onion seeds evenly on the soil surface and then lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil. In order to maintain the moisture of the soil, it is necessary to spray water moderately to maintain humidity. With such careful management, the green onion seeds will soon germinate and grow into strong seedlings.

The above is an introduction to some vegetable varieties suitable for planting in spring. In fact, many vegetable varieties can be planted at this time. You just need to pay attention to the planting methods.
