In reply to Josephine. Josephine, I never thought about it, but our growing seasons are indeed very similar. Our last frost date is mid-May, and the first is mid-October.

Very helpful – thank you! I am trying out vegetable growing in Oslo, Norway (Zone 4, I think), so your examples from Maine were a good guide.

In reply to Michelle. Succession planting used to be struggle for me as well. Now I start planning the whole growing season in winter. Things get so busy when summer arrives and it helps to know what to sow or transplant in all the beds once a crop is finished.

Succession planting is something I struggle with…mostly because of my work schedule and lack of adequate planning. You gave good examples of different ways to make the most of my space and growing season – thank you for the inspiration and information!

I like the concept. I’ve done a little succession planting. This season, I plan to put in a second round of lettuces in late August for lunches in the fall. I’ve staggered bean crops with good results. There’s nothing like fresh beans!
