Hey Erin. Love your library, it’s beautiful. Your plan makes a lot of sense. Having it all planned out saves you so much time and second guessing or decision making on the fly. The timeline is so important as well. Your tips are so valuable. Thank you!
This was very helpful. Planning is such a puzzle for me because I can grow year-round, but also have beds that are in the sun in winter and in the shade in summer. And I really like doing it on paper also. Thanks so much great ideas.
Understanding succession planting is so important. You did a great job explaining this. I use an excel spreadsheet but I do like your paper system since it's easier to move things around as you are doing your planning. And it's bigger and you can see your whole garden visually where excel is limited by your screen size and font size. Thanks for sharing this.
It does make sense. My biggest takeaway: start planning next season now so I’m setting myself up for success in future and not having to rework “mistakes” bc I didn’t plan ahead. Love it!!
Great information, so helpful! Quick question… where you have row with 2 sections of the same crop, for example the snapdragons in the north part of the garden,map…Do you just know that you are succession planting those? At a glance how do you know if a crop that is grown/designated in multiple ‘spots’ is a succession or just growing multiple spots of the same plant at the same time?

So cool you can grow year-round! It's a fun puzzle to solve

Thank you for watching
This was great! Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Fascinating! I’ve struggled with companion vs succession planting and optimizing space. This is so helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad it makes sense to you.

Exactly! It almost feels like writing backwards!
Loved seeing your planning approach. I’m a hands on person too. 😊
Thank you!
I was just doing the same mapping with sticky notes this afternoon, on a much smaller scale though 😁
Yay! I love it

I’ll write ‘snapdragon 1’ and ‘snapdragon 2’ for each succession
Thanks for this! I'm wrapping up planning now. I'm in SC Zone 8b so very different from you. I will have zinnias blooming the last of May.
I’m a little jealous of that. Though not off the humidity.
I enjoy watching your videos. I missed what the paper or board is that you are writing on.
It’s just a big pad of graph paper. Thanks for watching!
May you please share what you will start from seed in Feb, if not shared yet?
that'll be posted before february
What growing zone are you?
8b
