MIgardener: Start Growing MORE! Consider These Succession Planting TIPS!
Succession planting can take a garden to the next level and allow you to grow more food and have a more efficient garden. Here are some mistakes to avoid.
Love this explanation of succession plantings. Love your videos, and an avid follower of your channel. I'm in zone 8a in North Carolina, but still love your videos because there is still something that I can learn, and take away from different channels. Thank you, Luke for all of your useful and enlightening videos, as well as your hard work. I know rhat you're a very busy man, and yet take the time to make these videos on your channel for all of us followers. to our benefit. Much love to all who work dor you and the rest of your family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm planning my first succession sowings this year. What I did was map out on a calendar a time for each succession sowing so I don't forget to do it. Also – would azomite be a good thing to help with remineralization of a spent bed? What else would you use?
Timing is not my strong point, lol. My succession sowing goes like this. Plant out a bunch of stuff way too early on a freak warm day in March. Hope the following snowstorm waters it. Look for sprouts the day after the snow melts. Realize it was too cold for anything to sprout. Plant the same area again one day before the original seeds sprout. Don't pull any weeds because you don't remember what you planted where. Enjoy the chaos searching for surprise edibles in there somewhere.
Whats nice, if you have too many lettuce plants ready at the same time is to donate them to your local food bank,plus sharing with family friends and neighbors.

Great video! 👍
You're so right – germination, rainfall/water, air temp… = there are so many variables.
Those knees!
When you mention remineralizing just what does that entail?
Thank you
It's probably just me, but 1/3 of the way into the video, I was "lost in the weeds!"
above my head i just succession plant 3x what i need. then pick what i want or what looks healthy.
i would be so mad if i was his neighbor. the HOA would crucify me

So, remineralize with what? Dolomitic lime or rock dust?
How do you know which strawberries are early, mid or late June bearing? Is it based on when you plant them during the year?
