Planning your garden around the seasons can really make a big difference! I've learned a lot from trying things out. Here’s how I do it:

1. Know Your Seasons

Each season has its own chances for planting. Here’s what you can plant in each one:

• Spring: Good time to plant sturdy veggies like peas and lettuce.
• Summer: Great for growing tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers.
• Fall: Perfect for root veggies like carrots and beets.
• Winter: Think about covering crops or growing tough greens.

2. Change Up Your Crops

Changing where you plant different crops each year helps keep the soil healthy. Each season, I move my crops around to avoid using up all the nutrients and to keep pests away. Here’s a simple plan:

• Year 1: Plant legumes (like beans) to add nutrients back into the soil.
• Year 2: Grow leafy greens (like spinach) that need those nutrients.
• Year 3: Plant root veggies (like carrots) that enjoy the nutrient-rich soil.

3. Keep a Planting Calendar

I use a calendar to remember when to plant each type of crop. For example:

• March: Start tomato seeds indoors.
• April: Move seedlings outside when the danger of frost is gone.

Using these tips not only helps my garden produce more but also helps me understand nature better. Enjoy your gardening!
