Stop treating your garden like a one-time event and start managing it like a high-performance engine. In this episode of Farm Fresh, I’m showing you the exact strategies behind Succession Planting: How to never have an empty garden bed. Most gardeners suffer through the "mid-summer slump" where spring harvests leave behind nothing but baked, empty earth and an open invitation for weeds. I’ll teach you how to shift your psychology from a single planting weekend to a continuous "rolling harvest" that protects your soil, maximizes your square footage, and keeps your grocery bill at zero from the first thaw until the hard freeze. We’ll break down the "ten-day rule" for quick-turn crops like radishes and lettuce, and I’ll walk you through the advanced "relay inter-planting" method to ensure your next crop is already established before the old one even leaves the dirt.
