Experiment with fast growing plants. Keep records of when things are planted and when they start to crop.

It seems it depends. On what? On the variety, the vegetable and the time of year.
Some packets promise salads within 3 weeks and radishes in weeks and I tried to put this to the test – admittedly during a fairly brutal heatwave but it's all in the name of science.
I can see signs of some radishes, runner beans and salads that have appeared within 2 weeks of sowing – how long they will take to mature we will have to wait and see. There are also some beetroot seedlings but I suspect they will take longer.
I also bought at Hampton court flower show a Russian lemon cucumber that promised to be ready in 50 days so that's the end of August – we will have to wait and see.
