Succession Planting

Ways to Increase the Harvest

1. Plant one crop in the same area after another is harvested
2. Plant one crop, then approximately 2 weeks (or more) later, plant the same crop in another area to have a continual harvest.

Beginning and End of Season

1. The Idea Gardens are in USDA Zone 6B. Our last date of frost is April 28 and first date of frost is October 11
2. Know your last and first dates of frost as they will determine when you can start and finish planting many vegetables.
