Hey there, Kevin Espiritu here from Epic Gardening. Today we are going to discuss some easy vegetables

to plant in early spring or late winter basically right around now as spring starts to

approach for many of us not all of us but many of us and I hope you are one of

those people so here's some things that I've been planting in my garden and the reason why they are so easy.

Sugar snap peas are extremely easy. You don't have to do much to them. They grow like crazy. They're a legume, so they're a nitrogen fixer in the soil. Great crop to plant before the summer. And honestly, most of these don't make it into the kitchen,

because as you harvest a pee, you harvest them

as they become ready so that you have more and more growth of pea pods.

And what that tends to mean is you go out, you tending to your garden you have a nice morning snack of snap peas and

They don't make it into the kitchen that's just kind of the recipe that seems to play out over and over again.

Now the next thing that I would recommend,

while it is still relatively cool,

give spinach a try.

You can harvest it in a cut and come again fashion. Of course you can saute it, although I think every time I saute spinach, it compresses down to the size of like two molecules. For some reason that really just cooks down like crazy, but it's a fantastic crop.

You'll want to give it an area with sun in the earlier

parts of the day, preferably, and then afternoon shade.

They really don't want to get hit by too much light and too much heat and

I really would recommend a cut and come again style of harvest. So you can just

wait maybe three to five weeks and then start harvesting or if you so choose you can go ahead and pull the whole thing but again it's a perfect cut and come again crop.

The next crop for you this spring is going to be the humble beat. A lot of people don't like beats. I think there may even be some sort of genetic component where it just tastes like dirt to some people and

some people find that it tastes quite nice.

I certainly wasn't a fan of them when I was a kid, but who knows, maybe it was the way they

were cooked, maybe it was just that I was trying to be an annoying kid. Now I do quite like them and
