By our definition, quick growing vegetables are grown from seed to harvest within 6 weeks.
Sometimes we become impatient waiting for our favorite veggie to grow, so harvesting veggies from your garden within a few weeks of planting them is a great way to keep yourself inspired. These are wonderful vegetables to grow if you have kids around as they see the results quickly.
Soil preparation and soil fertilization are very important when you want to have a fast and productive harvest. So remember to give these vegetables the condition they need to grow and they will thrive and grow quickly in your garden.
Quick growing veggies:
Cress
Garden cress (Lepidium sativum) is a fast-growing, edible herb that is botanically related to watercress and mustard, sharing their peppery, tangy flavor and aroma. In some regions, garden cress is known as garden pepper cress, pepper grass, pepperwort or poor man's pepper. This annual plant can reach a height of 24 inches, with many branches on the upper part.

Lettuce
Lettuce is the focal point for every good salad. It is also a staple in sandwiches, and as a decorative underlayment for other foods. It is nutritious, yet low in calories. Lettuce is popular for dieters and for those who want to stay trim. All these issues aside, we eat lettuce because it tastes great!
