This month, I've got something a little different for you...
It's a free tool to help you extend your garden season and maximize your harvest!
While you may think of planting a garden as being a springtime activity, midsummer is actually a great time to plant some late summer and fall crops.
The best way to do this is called succession planting. It helps you get more out of your available garden space by planting a succession of crops one after another.
Yes, it really is that simple, but having a handy calculator like this one will help make the process easier to keep track of. Go ahead and grab your copy now, or learn more below.
Enjoy your summer bounty! :-)
A lot of gardeners plant their gardens once, but if you’re serious about growing most of your own food, successive planting techniques provide you more harvest opportunities. "Succession planting" is when you continuously plant in intervals, with the goal of harvesting a mature crop from the same space repeatedly throughout the season. Not only does it produce more harvest for your efforts, but it also makes efficient use of limited gardening space.
What’s the biggest challenge with succession planting, the thing that's holding gardeners back from more produce?
