A year-round garden is not about growing everything at once, but about knowing what belongs in each season. A simple calendar turns the garden into a continuous source of food.

The rhythm is plant, harvest, and replant, with each season offering its own crops. Planning ahead keeps the beds from sitting empty between seasons.

Spring and fall are the main planting seasons
Summer is for harvesting and maintaining
Winter holds hardy greens under cover
Succession planting keeps beds productive

Sketch a rough calendar of what you will plant each season and adjust as you learn.
