GARDEN VEGGIES FOR ZONES 4-6

Putting effort into a veggie garden is so fun and rewarding, no matter where you live. Zones 4–6 are perfect for planting sweet root veggies, lush greens, and crisp flavors. These nine beauties are great for beginners, lovely to harvest, and just right for cooler temps. I hope you find something flavorful to grow!

  • TOMATO

    Compact and quick to ripen, tomatoes are ideal for zones with a little shorter of a growing season.

  • ZUCCHINI

    Just one zuchinni plant yields so much! Great for small-space gardeners with big and bountiful dreams.

  • CUCUMBER

    Cucumbers are fast-growing and refreshing. Consider trellising them if you’re running short on space!

  • SNAP PEAS

    Sweet and crisp, snap peas do well in the cool of early spring and grow beautifully on trellises and in garden beds.

  • BEETS

    Earthy, sweet, and beautifully hued—beets offer tender greens early in the season and jewel-toned root veggies later on.

  • GREEN BEANS

    A beginner’s best friend! Green beans grow easily from seed, love the summer sun, and reward you with plenty to pick all season long.

  • CARROTS

    Carrots are cool-season roots thrive in loose soil. You’ll need to be patient as they grown, but the reward is worthwhile!

  • LEAFY GREENS

    Leafy greens like lettuce are quick to grow and happy in cooler soil, making them perfect for spring and fall harvests.

  • RADISHES

    Quick, crisp, and cheerful—radishes sprout fast and are ready to harvest in just a few short weeks. They are great for first-time growers!
