How to Keep the Garden Producing All Season - Ep. 283

Описание: If you’ve ever had that one magical week where the garden is giving you exactly what you want - some lettuce, a few carrots, a handful of beans, a couple tomatoes - and then two weeks later you’re drowning in zucchini while everything else is kind of between harvests ...

Today we’re fixing that.

Because the goal for a lot of home gardeners isn’t “the biggest harvest possible on one weekend.” The goal is steady, usable harvests week after week so you’re actually eating from the garden regularly, without a sudden produce avalanche.

So today on Just Grow Something, I’m going to teach you a planning method that revolves around harvest windows.

Instead of only asking, “When do I plant this?” we’re going to ask:
“When do I want to be harvesting this, and do I want it over and over again?”

I’ll walk you through a simple framework and give you a few practical “rules of thumb” for how often certain crops can be re-planted or staggered to keep the harvest going.

Let's dig in!
