What is the fastest germinating plant?

[engineerjoe]

Hello,

 

I live in Alabama and am looking to find information on the fastest germinating weed or plant that will grow in the area. I cant seem to find any information on the internet. Everytime I google the word "weed" I get some interesting results, none of which are the ones I am trying to find. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

The pea plant is one of the fastest germinating plants.

oh, sorry. i misread the question. peas, squash, beans. My grandfather has a garden in his backyard, and squash and string beans are always the first to be harvested.
