Maximizing the output of your garden requires early planning and consistent effort. Here are a few pointers and a comprehensive planting schedule to get you started on the path to an extended continuous harvest. You could make a mess of sauer kraut, or you could try giving them away.
Many crops can produce almost without interruption when succession planting is employed.
The planting of crops in sequence, one crop taking the place of a preceding crop, or the sowing of a single crop in several small plantings separated by time. Well-planned succession planting will assure a continuous supply of vegetables as well as make the best use of the space in your garden. Early in the season, succession planting is good insurance against a late freeze. Varieties can be selected to stretch out the harvest. Include an extra-early tomato such as Early Girl in addition to your main season tomato choice.
