FREE online courses on Vegetable Gardening - Succession Planting
With certain fast-growing vegetables (like lettuce, radishes
and broccoli), you can squeeze two or more crops out of the same part of your
vegetable garden by succession planting.
Just monitor the growth of your first crop and harvest that
as soon as its mature.
Remove the debris from that planting and then re-plant new
seeds in the same area, watering as needed.
TIP: Some vegetables like lettuce do not do well in the heat of
summer, but it grows fast. So after harvesting one or two lettuce crops, you can
plant a quick-growing, warm season vegetable (like beans) in its place.
