Spring is a wonderful time to grow whether you are a beginner gardener who seasonal grower, spring is a busy time to get your seeds germinated and planted so you can benefit from the spring and summer harvests they produce.
So what to grow, depends on the space you have allocated to growing produce. This may be a few containers in the balcony to a full grown plot with rotational beds. No matter what space you can reap the benefits of growing your own vegetable and herbs.
If you are a beginner a grower then there a few must haves that you should invest just to obtain the freshness and benefits of easy minimal growing:
Whether broad-leaf Italian style parsley or the curley leaf variety, parsley provides a great additional to almost every meal. On salads, pasta and even cheese and tomato toasties parsley provides a great fresh "green addition" to your meal even it is supermarket bought and ready-made. The trick is to add to these types of meals to gain additional nutrients and flavour that are so-often missed out on.
Whatever you call them, shallots or green onions are a great addition to any garden as they require minimum of space and you can harvest as you need. In Australia we call Shallots are actually green onions/scallions, where there is no bulb just straight green shoots to harvest. Shallots can be purple bulbs and spring onions usually have white bulbs. Either way they are a great addition to any garden.
Cherry style tomatoes are the easiest to grow, but for flavour we recommend trying Yellow Pear Tomatoes, their flavour is sweet and colour make it a must have for spring salads. Yellow pear are easy to grow and ready to harvest in no time.
With so many varieties to choose from, colour and taste should be in mind when planting beans. From snake like purple beans to green stringless beans are an easy way to get some fresh legumes and also fresh crisp vege to add to your salads.
