| 0:00.0 | Happy Friday. I hope you are enjoying these bonus Friday episodes we're bringing to you in January. |
| 0:06.5 | Today's topic is in response to something I hear from a lot of gardeners, and that is that you're |
| 0:12.3 | limited in space, and you're trying to make the most of the space that you have. But regardless |
| 0:18.7 | of whether you're limited on space or not, don't we all want to |
| 0:22.8 | get more with what we have? Don't we all want to get more production from the space that we're |
| 0:27.7 | gardening in? Whether we're truly working with a limited amount of space or like me, you know |
| 0:33.9 | that your limitations lie more in the time you put in, because for me, less space |
| 0:38.6 | obviously would mean less time and energy. Or maybe you simply want to up production without increasing |
| 0:45.7 | space. You want to be able to produce more for your family, but you don't want to add anything. |
| 0:51.8 | Or maybe you can't add anything. The point is getting more |
| 0:55.2 | from what we have, regardless of the space that we have, I think is something that we all turn |
| 1:00.3 | our heads to hear more about. How can we do that? Here's one thing I've learned, though. High |
| 1:07.1 | production doesn't just mean which crops will yield more than others, though that's definitely |
| 1:12.4 | something to consider. But it also can mean that you can choose crops that yield in a short |
| 1:19.0 | period of time, and if that's the case, then that frees up your garden space for another |
| 1:23.7 | planting, kind of like what we talked about in last week's episode about succession planting. |
| 1:33.2 | Another thing, though, about high production gardening is it can mean giving up certain crops that take up a lot of space for the amount of harvest that they ended up giving you, |
| 1:38.5 | or it could also mean strategically planning when to grow those, the ones that take up a lot of space for a little |
| 1:46.1 | bit of harvest. If I've got you curious about that, we're going to talk about all of these three |
| 1:50.8 | things today. But first, if you tuned into Tuesday's episode, you know that I have an announcement |
| 1:57.3 | coming today. And that is a brand new free live masterclass that I'll be hosting |
| 2:04.8 | called the productive garden masterclass. In this class I'm going to show you how you could possibly |
