Relay planting is one of the major keys to unlocking the full growing potential of your garden space, so to help you get started with this technique, this video will show you several examples of relay planting from our homestead garden plots this season.

We begin with a simple example of growing two crops of broccoli in the same bed at different times (0:40) which is made possible by knowing certain key information about our crops and growing season (2:10). Then I show you additional relay planting examples that allow for a little more flexibility. These examples include a relay of carrots to corn (4:08), beets to broccoli (5:42), garlic to kale/spinach (6:55), and cauliflower to turnips (8:16). I end with a quick comparison of relay planting with fixed harvest crops vs flexible harvest crops (9:06). I hope you find these examples helpful.

I appreciated going through all the variations of fixed and flexible crops. Would love to learn how you balance the mid-season seed starting, maintaing the garden spaces and preparing for harvest and storage.

I grow in Calgary - it’s rare to find such detailed and climate-relevant content. Thank you!

It looks like your mini hoops are steel - how did you make these?

Broccoli fans might consider succession planting & and growing "broccilini" instead for a more continuous harvest. I am a fan of broccolini's tender stems & smaller heads. I also don't have to woof down a massive harvest all at once to eat it fresh like regular broccoli. Broccolini can be havested every few days if you cut it the right way in the bed.

What variety of corn do you grow after carrots? I noticed it was only 60 days from transplant to harvest. Do the 30 days in seed trays before transplant mean it was a 90-day variety of corn?

Like our grand parents always did it. If you have biger bad you can do alternate planting avoiding like that monoculture planting.
