Plan spring and summer garden for steady harvests
Plan a succession of plantings to keep tender fresh vegetables coming all summer. For carrots a 32 foot sowing yields 16 servings a week, with three sowings spanning the season. Estimate weekly family servings of short harvest vegetables to size sowings and rows using the accompanying table.
Planting Guide for Vegetables and Harvest Timing
The text explains sowing strategies for vegetables to yield servings for a family of four, noting days to maturity such as 40 days for early lettuce and 90 days for late head lettuce. It advises staggered sowing for extended harvests, warns late corn varieties suit late summer, and cautions about space needs and crop rotation including soil enrichment before a second crop.
