Succession: The practice of planting crops at staggered intervals to ensure a continuous harvest throughout the growing season.
Think of succession planting as a relay race for your vegetables. It’s like passing the baton from one planting to the next, ensuring a steady stream of fresh produce. Imagine planting a row of lettuce every two weeks so you never have a crisp salad.
In a home garden, succession planting is a great way to maximize your harvest and avoid ripening everything at once. You can stagger plantings of the same crop, like beans or carrots, or plant different crops that mature at other times. It’s like creating a well-orchestrated garden symphony, with each planting playing its part in the harvest.
Succession planting is about planning and being strategic with your garden space. It’s like playing horticultural chess: anticipating your needs and making sure you always have something fresh and delicious to harvest.
