Succession planting allows you to get a steady continuous harvest all season long, without being overrun by produce all at once.

Successive plantings really help when you're planting for a small family or just yourself! This way I can enjoy veggies throughout the warmer seasons.

Exactly. My small family would used to get overrun by hundreds of radishes and we were so overloaded.
@MaxineShaw_84 Жыл бұрын
Exactly! I had never heard the term but stumbled upon it in a comment when researching how to ensure regrowth after harvesting. I love that it's steady production of a consumable amount but also keeps me more excited about gardening overall since only watering and harvesting can get boring. Staying in the soil and seeing new sprouts is fun. 😄

This is only my second year container gardening here in Vancouver, BC, but I’ve learned so much from your channel that I feel really at peace with the entire process. My garden is growing, I’m companion planting, I’ve got marigolds and herbs on the horizon to keep pests to a minimum, and I just feel like I understand the harmony of a garden so much more thanks to your channel. Happy growing! 🌱

I treat all my salads as pick and grow salads, never waiting for 10 heads to mature at the same time. I just pick the outer leaves, leaving a small set of leaves in the middle which grows on and on. That way I have salad leaves for months on end never having to worry about a salad harvest panic. Works with Romana, Cerbiatta and other varieties as well.

I also am renting so I don't have a good spot to dedicate to compost. However I did leave half of the dead plants on the raised beds and it looks like some worms broke some of the soil down so hopefully that'll help a bit! :) Any tips for prepping the soil further?

What do I do with soggy seed starting dirt? I tried spaghum peat moss and picked out the occasional piece of wood. The problem I am having is that I hardly ever water it after the first time and it is just soggy. Now that the plants have started growing and are doing fairly well, most have first set of true leaves I barely water the bottom to keep little roots from drying out. I top water the random plugs that dry out (really weird). My seedlings seed leaves are starting to yellow so I will up pot soon. However, I am concerned with just how wet the peat moss gets. Is this an issue? Also, can I use a garden soil mix for up potting? I'm also having an issue with mold/mildew and some algea. Thanks for any help on this!

This is my second year gardening and this is one of the biggest things not many people talk about. The only thing I am a little confused about is the timing, as I'm unsure whether the first wave of radishes or crops is going to be ready when the next crop needs to be planted. I mean like if I sow peas in the containers I'm going to plant tomatoes in in the middle of may, will the peas be ready by then? I've never tried growing peas, and even if I did, with a variety new to you you're not sure of the maturity date. I hope you understand my question ☺️

If you're only planting for a small family, you can plant two feet every two weeks (4x8) for a final harvest in only two months from the first. Once the first one is harvested, replant it, and you will not have a bare spot for long. You can keep this cycle going all summer long, and it's great for small spaces and maximum yields. In a long growing season like I have, you can get a ton of food in a relatively small space for 6+ months.
