Succession Planting: How to Harvest More From Your Vegetable Garden

Sowing or planting into gaps left behind after a crop is harvested is known as succession planting.

Filling gaps as soon as crops are harvested will maximize the amount of food you can grow, making your garden space even more valuable and helping to reduce weed growth.

In this video we explain how to plan succession crops and which crops are best for growing this way. Plus we offer some tips for successful summer sowing whatever your climate.

    I live in the desert southwest in the U.S. I am pulling muskmelon that produced heavily this year and planting Roma tomatoes as we generally do not get a frost until early to mid November.?

    love your clear explanatory videos… What happened to the other young man who presented with you… He was really good at explaining things too. I only have a small veg patch so I have to pack things in and just patch in spaces. It is useful to know what I can plant now. Thank you.?

    I'm growing lots this year! The squash are doing well–we planted zucchini and the yellow squash. Planted 8 kinds of sweet bell peppers which are growing slowly. Strawberry and watermelon barely surviving 🙁

    Also putting new trees in the ground–mandarinquat, red delicious apple, two peach trees, apricot, walnut, olive, 3 varieties of cherry, 4 flowering trees that don't produce anything edible. So excited. Just fenced off the deer so they can't eat everything.?
