I need this broken down into really simple terms because I just want to ensure I understand lol.
Lets say I'm planting tomatoes: I plant seeds today. In one week, I plant another set of seeds? I can then expect that ideally, set 1 will produce week 1, and then set 2 will product week 2, ideally the week just after week 1? If that makes sense?
Can you clarify a bit on the succession planting just with examples? It will make it easier for me to understand. Sorry to bother. Thank you
However, to answer your question now. No you would not succession plant with tomatoes. This is more for crops that “Peter out” or stop producing after several weeks of production. Like beans, peas, maybe cucumbers, corn… tomatoes if taken care of properly can keep producing season long. Especially cherry tomatoes.
You would plant a row of beans and let them grow to a foot tall and then if you had space start another row, so that their production is staggered. In a month or so the first row will “Peter out” and production slows, so you would pull them up and replant another crop of your choice. But you would still have the second row of beans producing in full swing.

Absolutely, I will make another post on it and go deeper, thanks for your comment. I never know if what I’m typing makes sense!

My sunsugar tomatoes (small, sweet yellow cherry tomatoes) produced until the fall. Cherry tomatoes are a great go to for first timers.
Awesome. Thank you
