Time Table for Succession Sowing of Short Season Crops
A garden guidance piece explains the common error of a single sowing for quick crops and presents a plan for successive sowings. It includes a table showing harvest duration per sowing and the garden space needed, with beans used as an example. Each four week interval yields a new harvest, avoiding waste and ensuring steady supply.
Planting Guide for July and Fall Harvests
Sow lettuces radishes and spinach for early summer and fall harvests only. Other vegetables should be sown two or more times with the last crop maturing before killing frosts. Do not follow a seed, leaf, or root crop with a same class to avoid disease. Dig and refresh soil with 2 pounds of plant food per 100 square feet before a second sowing.
