Grow To Eat

Succession planting schedule

By making sure you always have plants in the ground across your entire growing area — throughout the whole season — you ensure that you get the biggest harvest from spring to autumn.

Companion Planting

Example of companion planting of vegetables and flowers

Companion planting means growing different vegetables, herbs, and flowers next to each other so they help each other grow — by repelling pests, attracting pollinators, providing shade, or making better use of space.

Crop Rotation

Crop rotation means moving each vegetable family to a different bed every year so the same crop doesn’t grow in the same spot more often than once every four years.

What Should You Grow?

The best things to grow are the foods you actually eat often, the ones that are hard to buy fresh, and crops that match your space, sunlight, and how much time you have.
