Ep. 86 - How Many Seeds or Plants Do You Need?


Listen Later

When you’re planning your garden, do you have trouble determining how many plants you should grow? It’s very easy to overdo it, especially in the first few years because you don’t know how many plants you need in order to get the volume you want your garden to produce. I was guilty of not planting enough greens the first few years but way overplanting the cucumbers. So we ended up with too few salads and way too many cucumbers. I was giving them away weekly and we canned enough pickles to provide five families for five years. So today we’ll walk through how to determine the number of seeds or plants you’ll need to plant in order to achieve the harvest you want so you can more accurately plan your garden space and not end up with too much of one thing and not enough of another. Let’s dig in!
