16 Vegetables You Can Harvest In 55 Days Or Less! –  Last night I was working in the kitchen garden tidying up one of our raised beds {the one we just harvested garlic from} when I realized there are only about 2 months left in our growing season. 

It’s hard to imagine that in just two months, it will be OCTOBER already! Yikes! Where did the time go this year? Anywho, I figured I might as well squeeze the most out of the summer growing season with another round of vegetables to maximize the growing potential in our little kitchen vegetable garden.

So far I’ve planted 2 rows of beets, and tomorrow I think I’ll plant another round of peas and maybe some beans too. Summer, it’s fading fast and if you’re thinking about getting a few more seeds in the ground before the first frost, here’s a list I’ve put together with 17 vegetables you can harvest in 55 days or less.

16 Vegetables You Can Harvest In 55 Days Or Less

  • Beets 50 – 55 days 
  • Broccoli 50 days 
  • Cucumbers 55 days
  • Green Beans 50 days
  • Kale 55 days 
  • Lettuce 20 – 45 days
  • Napa Cabbage 55 days {my favorite variety!}
  • Okra 55 days 
  • Patty Pan Squash 45 – 60 days
  • Peas 55 days 
  • Radishes just 25 days!
  • Spinach 28 – 45 days
  • Sorrel 60 days
  • Swiss Chard 55 days 
  • Turnips 30 – 40 days 
  • Zucchini 45 days

Do you have any end of the summer crops you like to plant? I’d love to know.

Keep calm and garden on!
