Salad Garden
Quick-harvest cool-season crops in one efficient planting bed
A quick-growing cool-season combo perfect for spring and fall. Fast-maturing lettuce and radishes pair perfectly with slower carrots. All can be harvested at different times, making efficient use of limited garden space. Great for beginners and small spaces.
Why This Works
Cool-season crops work in harmony—no competition for nutrients
Radishes mature in 25 days, leaving space for slower lettuce and carrots
Different root depths mean efficient use of soil layers
Perfect for spring and fall planting
