Have you ever wondered where all the big garden breakthroughs come from?
How do best practices become *BEST* practices? It’s probably not what you think. I’ll give you a hint… master gardeners have a lot to learn from beginners!
Why saving seeds maximizes harvests in the vegetable garden
With small, organic vegetable gardens, you want to pack in those plants to maximize yields.
Usually when I say yield it’s all about the harvest you can put on your plate. However, you may want to make some space for plants that are going to seed. While they take up space for a month or two… it’s worth it to keep them around!
Check out why…

Vegetable Garden Planting Schedule: What does “days to maturity” mean?
“Days to maturity” is an important concept when you’re planning your vegetable garden. You want to know when things will first be ready to harvest, as well as when that space will be free to grow something else. Here’s what days to maturity means for roots, greens and fruits.
Vegetable Garden Planting Schedule: What’s ready to harvest in 3 weeks?
Something I forgot to mention in the video is that those little baby lettuce seeds that were direct seeded outdoors… they are growing unusually slow because of low temperatures and only 4 hours of sunlight. Did you know that lettuce seeds will germinate in just 2-3 days at 75 F, but 7-10 days at 50 F (on average). That’s a big difference, right?! So you could speed up the process by covering your vegetable garden with plastic. Plastic could warm up the soil a good 20 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Doesn’t have to be fancy, you could re-cycle a clear plastic jar or tub you have lying around.
You don’t need seeds to grow your own herbs…
Depending on where you live, some herbs are perrenial and will grow back each year. Even in Brooklyn, sage, thyme, lavendar, mint and oregano would grow back each year. But rosemary never really made it. And softer plants like basil, parsley, dill, cilantro, had shorter life cycles so I planted lots of seeds.
I have to say… It was frustrating to NOT have rosemary in the spring. I liked a lot of it, and it could be expensive buying a dozen mature transplants. So about this time of year, I would start creating my own rosemary plants. Not from seed, though, because like I mentioned, that takes FOREVER!
