Succession planting means not planting all your seeds or seedlings at once. Instead, it involves staggering plantings to provide a continuous and steady supply of crops throughout the season.

The frequency of sowing successive crops like radishes and carrots can vary based on several factors. Consider the time of year, the specific vegetable, how quickly it matures, the condition of your soil, and, when sowing seeds, the quantity of seeds you plant at one time.

• Seedling Planting
  Prepare the soil well with plenty of Garden Time Compost and Daltons Premium Garden Mix, Garden Time™ Vegetable Mix or Garden Time™ Enriched Garden Mix. Plant your seedlings every 2-3 weeks, especially with crops like leafy greens, spring onions, carrots, and radishes, to avoid everything maturing at once.

   

• Sowing Seeds
  The better the soil preparation prior to sowing the seed, the better the germination rate and speed of growth. Use Daltons Premium Seed Raising Mix to give them the best start. To prevent a glut of any vegetable, try to avoid sowing too many seeds at once. For summer greens that you enjoy regularly, sow small amounts every three to four weeks.

This staggered sowing and planting technique not only keeps your garden productive but also ensures a continuous supply of fresh, delicious vegetables right from your garden.
