Latest Update 10th July 2021
- An important part of my gardening style is to carefully plan what I'm growing and in which beds. This propagation plan is adjusted as I go to reflect any improvements I may make during the year.
- I use it to coordinate planting and harvesting so the beds are kept occupied all year round. I also calculate occupancy rates (%) for each bed each month, and work out how many seeds to order every 6 months.
- Each year I start a new plan based on the old one in its improved form.
- The plan details which plants need to be sown each month including quantites to be grown, and whether the seeds should be sown in a propagator or directly into the ground.
- My propagation plan is a calendar and a diary, and contains links to my vegetable database. Useful information can be looked up when the next crop is ready to be grown.
- I maintain a services plan to remind me when to make hot compost including when to mix and aerate it during its 18 day process. I plan when to order seeds, when to spray aerated
compost tea, when to apply compost extract and when to look out for seasonal pests.
- The main thing
is that these two planning blog pages enable me to continuously improve my vegetable garden's
performance.
