Succession Planting Tips (More Harvests)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лип 2020
- A single garden bed can produce food harvests twice and even three times in the same growing season. Succession planting allows you to always have plants growing in your garden and producing more food production. Three seasons of growing is easy for gardeners to do and even more harvests are possible in areas with long growing seasons. (Video #181)

The way I do it is called 'Food Foresting'. I fill my 37 tote gardens with a few flowers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, even baby mangoes. I grow them year round, here in central Florida. They grow like crazy and I have few if any pests. The soil does not dry out because they are so full of plants, sunlight never reaches the soil. I only fertilize with worm castings. Rain water is my main and most favored watering method. Everything is usually lush, hardy and gorgeous. Gardening this way maximized production. What a gift from God!
I was unable to amend soil in my beds like you taught us because I planted before I discovered you. However I did follow your soil instructions for my containers and they are going gang busters! My cucumbers in the ground struggled, the ones in containers are so lovely. Thank you so much for everything you show us 💕
Starting my third batch now. I love my gardening life!
This is a GREAT video! WOWSERS!!!!
Verry nice Gardenning channel. And greattings from Germany🇩🇪💝🇺🇸
You are such an amazing teacher. Thank you for teaching me to be a better gardener.
This video makes me think of what I could be growing by succession planting. I have never tried it. My garden now takes so much planning because I start my plants inside from seeds, but I may try some successive gardening.
This is a portion of my skills I need to improve. I have a second batch of brassica starts growing indoors right now. Ready to plant some more beans. Trying to improve my craft and keep teh beds active all year. GREAT video Scott
Your garden is amazing!
Love it. I hate seeing bare soil, especially when there’s still time left in the growing season. Great things to think about as always!
I just pulled up some dead tomato plants but I didn’t leave the bed bare. I replaced those dead tomato plants with new plants. I planted sweet potatoes, eggplants and a few other things.
More planning in my swamp.
Can you please do a tour of all your plants? I would really like to see a video of that.
Always Be
I am still trying to get a good fall and spring planting schedule for zone 7b Arkansas. I am learning so much from your wisdom. Thanks.
I just discovered Chioggia beets! Super fast, super sweet!
I've never had success with staggering planting as I have a shorter growing season too but am growing stuff through winter in a greenhouse with success now. Might build some hoop covers to go over my outdoor beds too so I can plant earlier and protect later from frost
I find your videos very helpful. I'm in my 2nd year of amateur raised bed gardening also in Colorado 5B. I wish I had found you last year! I have been pruning my tomatoes like crazy! I will think about succession, I have spinach that has bolted and needs removed. I have volunteer tomatoes & cukes and squash in all my beds because I did my first ever round of kitchen composting in a rolling barrel last fall. Then I tilled all the compost into my beds. Many Surprises!!!! I struggled with pulling them like weeds. They were great plants. I transplanted some, left some & thinned a LOT. thanks for the great info.
Hey, thank you for this video. I use a succession planting strategy in my garden too. I’ll share an example. I break up my planter into three sections; green onion, carrots, and radishes. Green onion and radishes are great companion plants for carrots so I put them on either side. Radishes are seeded in the front, carrots in the middle, and green onions in the back because they’re the tallest. My radishes are ready to harvest in about 21 days so I sow radish seeds every two weeks during the growing season until they start to slow. I let the remainder grow out and then I sow a section of green onions where the radishes were. The carrots are typically ready to harvest next and as the days start to heat up, the green onions are taking over. I pull the carrots out of the middle and plant another section of green onions in their place. The back row of green onions is ready to harvest first. The new front row of green onions helps provide shade for the middle row so they have a little protection against our triple digit early to mid summer days for their germination and early growth. Then the bed is ready for mulch to help with water retention as we get up to a range of 114-118. This also protects the earth worms from absolutely cooking in those planters. Speaking of hot weather and companion planting, I planted tomatoes in some of the planters after my peas & continued to fertilize heavy. As the peas died back the tomatoes were coming in. At the base of each tomato plant I seeded cilantro. Cilantro grows really well in speckled sunlight during the hot summer and helps to keep pests away from the tomatoes. I also planted strawberries, spinach and cilantro together in the same pot. The spinach was ready to harvest first. Then the cilantro came in as the spinach started to bolt. When the spinach left the pot the strawberries were taking over so they could continue providing shade for the cilantro. And, again, the cilantro was able to help reduce pests in these plants. The cilantro will leave the pot as the strawberries begin to ripen. Succession planting and companion planting are great in tandem to maximize harvest and get the most from your growing space. I have a lot of plants grown up against each other and have very few pests in the garden. My big issue this year is the brassica butterfly. But I have a variety of predatory insects in the garden along with some lizards that I introduced which are native to my state but not as common in my city. I just increased their population in my garden by collecting them from a walk a few miles away and then adding them to my planters when I got home.
You are right my mind set in my beds is an all or nothing attatude , i mostly grow tomatoes pepperes eggplant . Old ways are hard to change.
