What is up everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast. Kevin here. I'm here with Brian from Never Enough Dirt on Instagram.

So today we're going to be talking about succession planting, you know, if you're growing in small spaces,

I think Brian's gotten quite a few questions, and I certainly have as well about how are you able to grow the variety

or the quantity of plants that you're growing, I seem to have so much space and I can't grow as much as you guys grow.

Well, it's not so much that we are some supergarteners.

It's just being able to manage your space well and take advantage of some techniques like

succession planning.

So Brian, I know when I watch your stories on Instagram, you've got what seems like a ton of different

things going on, but it's not like you're in a huge rural acreage.

So could you talk a little bit about how you're able to squeeze that much yield out of your garden?

Yeah, we're just really fortunate to live in a climate that's really long.

It allows us to grow things in succession.

So what we like to do is grow just enough food for our family and that allows us to use less space and through succession we can grow throughout the year.

So for instance, instead of growing 16 tomato plants and wondering what to do with it

and getting tired of tomatoes, we grow six plants and then harvest and then we instead of using the other 10 spots that you would use for tomatoes we may grow some Asian greens

Six plants of this six plants of that so we're not variety, we're not board with one thing and we always

have something to harvest and use in the kitchen.

Yeah, yeah, I mean I think I try to do the same thing. Sometimes I definitely start more.

Like I might still start 12 tomato plants

and end up planting maybe four of them.

And then another thing I'll do, I don't know if you do this too,

is I'll just pick within a plant like within let's say
