I thought about growing vegetables in order to better weather the coming crises which may be quite difficult, I thought about it a few months ago, but after learning how much I would have to learn, I thought, oh, all this information is spinning my head. Where should I start? What fertilizers to use, how not to overpay money and other resources? How to stretch soil fertility as long as possible and is it possible not to be physically exhausted in the process? Time is also running out.

Well, as a result, my brain subconsciously abandoned this idea, well, I was too used to a comfortable life and food from the supermarket. And so it has been for four months.

I know I’m pathetic. I haven’t even bought seeds yet.

    Pretty sure it’s too late in the year to plant peas in most places, but otherwise they are a great starter vegetable.

      Really? Most peas I know take within the realm of 60 days, making them a pretty short cycle crop, hence why I chose them. Peas planted now would be finishing up near September, which is before the first frost date in most Northern Hemisphere zones AFAIK. I doubt OP is in the Southern Hemisphere from the comments on when they first began considering a garden.

        They grow quickly but germinate best in the cool weather of early spring.
