How To Have More Vegetables For More Of The Year - 0 views

  Succession Planting is the practice of planting the same type of plant, but at timed intervals - for example a month apart. By doing this with vegetables that you use a lot, you will be able to create a much longer supply for your family.
  
  This works best with plants that grow happily for most parts of the year; or if you're lucky enough to live in a temperate climate, even all year round.
  
  It works like this. Say you plant lettuce at the beginning of September. You only need to grow a short row because you would plant a second row in early October; then another in early November. By the time you're planting your November succession, your September lettuce are mature enough to eat (I prefer the type where you pick and come again, rather than harvesting the whole plant). If you keep planting a row of lettuce at the start of each month, you will always have lettuce ready to pick straight from your organic garden.
