Your planting season is far from over! 🌿✨ With succession planting, you can enjoy a continuous harvest by planting new crops as others finish

Whether it’s peppers, tomatoes, carrots, parsnips, or broccoli, you can always stagger your growing so you don’t have too much all at once but have an ample supply of your favorite fresh produce throughout the growing season.

We understand how it can be overwhelming to organize and keep track of - that's why we created an easy-to-use succession planting spreadsheet!

👉 Download it today at https://buff.ly/45tPasl

Are you succession planting? If not, you are missing out on keeping your garden as productive as you can. Learn how.
