Abundant harvest guaranteed – With clever cultivation planning, you can provide yourself with fresh vegetables from your own garden almost year-round. It's fun, and on top of that, you can be absolutely certain that no toxic pesticides have been used.
When starting out with raised bed gardening, it's best to choose easy-to-grow vegetables like radishes, lettuce, basil, tomatoes, zucchini, and squash. Peas and beans also grow almost entirely on their own. Even more difficult varieties like parsley, celery, or leeks thrive effortlessly in raised beds.
Variety selection
Don't just plant or sow any lettuce or cabbage; pay attention to the variety. Lettuce, cabbage, celery, and carrots, in particular, have varieties that have been bred for growing in different seasons. With such diverse varieties, you can grow many vegetables year-round. "Early" lettuce varieties, for example, tolerate more cold, while summer varieties aren't affected by the August heat, and they don't flower prematurely. This premature flowering is called "bolting." Lettuce, spinach, cabbage, and chard are particularly prone to this during alternating wet and dry periods, extreme heat, or when young plants are planted too late.
Very important:Buy only high-quality seeds from reputable suppliers.
Only then can you be sure that it is of the correct variety and sufficiently capable of germinating.
