Plan to replenish the soil with each new planting. Space for second crops: Plan when the first or second crop will be done then choose other plants with a short enough maturity date to take up that space. Companion planting: Plants have tradional friends that side by side enhance growth, and enemies that hinder growth. Attracting pollinators: Consider edible flowers and herbs to give nutritious refuge to pollinators from very early spring throught to fall. Think vertical: Let plants in containers dangle down and use vertical supports to save space and lift the produce off the soil. Grow organic: Integrated pest management teaches about good bugs and the bad bugs. There are many organic fertilizers and herbicide methods to use. Save your seed: For favourite plants let at least one item fully mature so that the seed can be saved. For plants that produce seed from bolted flower stalks let flower heads (i.e. dill, fennel) or seed pods (i.e. beans, radish, arugula, lettuce) mature and dry, then harvest to store for next season. Tempermental transplants: Direct sow root crops, parsley, pumpkin beans, corn, okra, peas Protect brassica plants from cabbage worm by using a barrier to prevent the moth from landing and laying eggs. Learn to identify weeds which are tenacious and will compete for nutrients and water. Lightly hoe soil regularily to remove weeds. Label seed trays and where seed has been sown directly. Don't trust your memory, and help others know what is planted.
