OK, not ALL wrong. I'm spending too much time on garden experiments. With the cost of groceries, I need to spend MORE TIME focusing on harvests. I'm planning on cutting the total number of varieties of each vegetable I grow. LESS varieties, more HARVEST. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xacB...

Want to get the most out of your garden? Try Succession Planting. Instead planting all at once, try Planting a little now, a little a week later, and a week after that, etc! Rather than a big harvest at once you get fresh harvest you can use, each and every week! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty2q...
