Gardening 101~ Maximizing Your Garden's Yield: The Benefits and Techniques of Succession Planting
Today Jean will discuss the topic of Succession Planting and how the benefits of it!
Throughout the winter months I long for the warm days when I can get back into the dirt and smell the scent of plants growing. Yes, they do have a scent and all gardeners know it. It’s like the smell of the first lawn cutting, or the way the air smells after a heavy rain.. It is simply a romantic aroma!
Have you ever wondered how some of your gardening friends always have fresh produce when your garden seems to have given up the ghost? Or how farmers market vendors have fresh lettuce all season, and your’s turns bitter and bolts?
What you may not know is their secret… and that’s what I’m going to share with you all of you today! It’s called succession planting, and it’s super easy to incorporate into your gardening plan.
I certainly hope you are encouraged to garden. Even if you start with only two or three of these things, that’s a great start!
