Buy Various Vegetables — Guide & Tips
In the category 'Various Vegetables' you will find 47 different seed varieties that go beyond the classic garden bed inhabitants. Here you can discover onions, parsnips, bell peppers, radishes, leeks, corn, and many other types that bring variety to your garden. The selection ranges from fast-growing radishes for early harvest to slow-ripening bell pepper varieties that reward warmth and patience.
Pay attention to the respective germination temperatures and sowing dates. Onion seeds germinate from as low as 5 °C, while bell peppers and corn only reliably sprout from 15 °C soil warmth. Some varieties like parsnips or leeks are especially suitable for autumn and winter harvest, as they tolerate frost and intensify their aroma in cold. Check the respective product information for the important properties and certifications for your selection.
For bell peppers and corn, pre-cultivation on the windowsill or in the greenhouse is worthwhile to extend the growing season. Leeks and onions can be planted directly in the bed – they need consistent moisture but no waterlogging. Those who want to expand their vegetable garden will find a real enrichment for the garden bed and kitchen in this category.
A planning tip: Combine early varieties like radishes with late ones like parsnips to make the best use of the bed area. Corn grows particularly well in wind-protected locations and can serve as a natural privacy screen in the garden. Don't forget to store the seeds cool, dry, and dark – this way they remain viable until the next season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vegetable seeds are suitable for beginners?
Radishes can be sown directly outdoors from March and harvested after just four weeks. Onions thrive even in less-than-ideal soil and are robust against cold. If you want to gain initial experience, choose these varieties—they forgive small mistakes and reliably yield a harvest.
Can I grow peppers and corn in the same bed?
Yes, both plants are heat-loving and have similar requirements for soil and water. Corn can serve as a shade provider for peppers if planted in a north-south direction. Ensure sufficient spacing (at least 50 cm) so the roots do not hinder each other. Pre-cultivating indoors from March extends the season and increases the yield of both species.
How long do the seeds in this category remain viable?
Most seeds remain viable for two to three years when stored in a cool, dry, and dark place. Pepper and onion seeds lose germination capacity after about two years, while radishes and horseradish often last longer. Store the packets in an airtight container, ideally at 5–10 °C. A simple test: place a few seeds on damp kitchen paper—after five to ten days, you will see if they still germinate.
What is the difference between leeks and onions?
Leeks form long, white shafts and are grown as autumn and winter vegetables. Onions, on the other hand, develop round bulbs and are ready for harvest earlier. Leeks require deeper, looser soil and are planted in furrows that you gradually mound up. Onions grow shallower and are easier to care for.
