It’s never too early to start planning your garden and prepare for a surprising harvest in early spring. No sooner have our vegetable gardens rested than we’re already looking forward to setting sail with a new gardening season. If you plan things well, you can anticipate spring and plant some vegetables now for an early harvest.

The benefits of autumn gardening

Choosing to plant vegetables in autumn has countless advantages for the intelligent farmer. The onset of spring can be a busy time for the gardener, with all the seedlings to be started indoors and pruning to be carried out. Having vegetables already in full growth frees up a lot of your time and energy to concentrate on other tasks. What’s more, the soil generally stays moister and cooler in the shade, which can help some plants grow better than they would in full sun.

Vegetables to plant now for a spring harvest

Garlic is the ideal first candidate for autumn planting. You’ll be gratified to see the first green shoots emerge from the ground in early spring. Use quality garlic cloves for a good harvest. Visit onions and shallots are another excellent choice for autumn planting.

They are easy to grow, disease-resistant and will produce a generous harvest in early spring. Leafy vegetableslike arugula, mustard and spinach, are also wonderful choices for your autumn garden. They grow quickly and will produce a fresh, crisp harvest by the end of winter.

Soil preparation for successful planting

Remember that soil preparation is a key element for a good harvest. Make sure the soil is well drained to avoid standing water. If you have heavy clay soil, try adding compost or organic matter to improve soil texture and fertility.

With these tips in hand, you’re ready to surprise everyone with your spring harvest. It doesn’t matter if the weather is still cold, because your vegetable garden is already up and running. Don’t hesitate to plant those vegetables now, and get ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor in early spring.
