3. PLANT
There are two primary planting periods: “Early” and Memorial Day. Early is “as soon as the ground can be worked.” This is when you plant peas, lettuce, brassicas, favas, and other cool stuff. Memorial Day is when tomatoes and peppers, etc., go in. Succession planting is a necessity when a whole row of head lettuce harvested all at once is too much for your household. I plant a few inches each week. And I’m an aggressive thinner. Worth studying up on: soil health, crop rotation, companion planting, beneficial flowers.
