VIDEO: Succession Planting: How to Harvest More From Your Vegetable Garden


💛 📖 See the GrowVeg book here: https://www.growveg.com/growveg-the-beginners-guide-to-easy-gardening.aspx.
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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Helpful info.  I plan to grow several greens (or salads as you say) from seed this fall for the first time ever.  I'm a new gardener and also a container-gardener.  I will be growing my greens in a pot in my courtyard.

  4. Another good video to help the newcomers, well done. I would like some help from the hort channel with a great resource that is going to landfill, coffee grounds, in the last 8 weeks I have collected 150lbs from my local Sainsburys café and I would like to see this rolled out to all the other supermarkets in the UK, any help would be most appreciated, kind regards David Creed

  5. 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.

  6. Good day! I was looking for information on broccoli – if it blooms just once, or once I harvest it is done? Would you please kindly tell me more about brocs, or direct me to a video you've made on the topic? Thank youuuuuu

  7. Liked the video, but I have a question: how is succession gardening different from just plain gardening? Don't people always replace one crop with another after harvest?

  8. i'm just starting out and have planned my veg plot with growveg. i have planned next years plot but where do i put this years seedlings, spring cabbage and garlic, do i put them where next years crops will be. does the garlic go where i have onions next year.

  9. Glad to have found this really useful video. I seem to do fine growing veg during the first half of the year but I then struggle to get best use from raised beds into autumn. Plenty to reflect on thanks to your lists of what can be sown later, fingers crossed for a more plentiful veg garden as the autumn approaches.
