Get your notepads out because in this video I will show you how to create a vegetable garden planting plan to ensure food abundance throughout the year. Very often gardeners create a yearly plan but this makes it very hard to capture change through the months and plan for succession sowing.

I am so excited to share this video with you because it is something that I know will help so many of you unlock the ability to almost instantly improve your succession planting and food abundance from your garden. And I am going to start it off by giving you the golden bit of information which is this:
Don’t create an annual planting plan. Instead, create a simplified month-to-month plan and there are so many benefits to this and I have been using this method for a couple of years now and I tell you, the thought of moving back to an annual plan after seeing how amazing this type of plan is, fills me with horror.
I know monthly may sound like a lot of work but trust me when I say it is so much easier than you think. In this video you will also learn how to transfer the tasks and steps in your planting plan onto a calendar, so you have the most efficient, and perhaps the easiest way of staying organised and in control this year.
The issue with an annual plan is that is it very hard to see the change of the garden throughout the year, and as a result it makes it very difficult to plan succession growing which is planting one crop as soon as another crop is harvested so you get two different crops from the same area, in the same year, thus maximising the food potential from a set space.
A monthly plan allows you to foresee future changes in your garden, such as when space becomes available. By being able to plan in a way that captures the change so easily, means that the potential from your garden increases right away, and at the end of the day, it makes life so much easier for you because all you need are quick glances to see what’s happening and to make sure you are on track.

Oooh, Photoshop is a terrific planning tool; InDesign might work well, too. Thanks for all of the excellent info, Huw!

[@tmaduro4494]

Thanks 🖒

[@cleonawallace376]

This is great - I'm sold! One question though... do you have other videos explaining tips for designing your annual veg garden in the first place? I'm at the very early stages and I'm thinking rectangular beds are easier. But I'm not sure if there's anything I'm missing. Also - do you sell the permie ethics sweatshirt you're wearing?!

[@va5307]

Nice video, but do you have for the people like me a video where you explain how to plant in a raised bed and what can be in it?

[@chloebayetti3982]

Hi Huw, I'm a big fan of your videos and also have your book. I'm keen to try the course but before enrolling could you clarify which software we need to use if we do it digitally? do you use powerpoint, excel or something else? Thank you kindly

[@Just-Nikki]

This kind of quality information is why you are on a very short list of experienced gardeners I chose as the direction I wanted for my family’s garden. There’s a dizzying amount of information out there but this is a realistic approach and in line with the way I want to have a relationship with the food and land that I expect to nourish my family. Thank you for being a rich source of information and delivering it clearly and thoroughly.

[@HuwRichards]

Wow thank you so much Nikki! I am so grateful for this kind comment and that you appreciate my videos so much.

Thanks for the Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Proutklarton Alive Products Plan (probably on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for creating your greenhouse of saffron anywhere in the world without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy finally got astronomical results with it.

[@yukey2587]

I am a long term gardener. This is so simple and brilliant! It is March, and seed starting time, so the monthly garden plan is in the works!

[@rjtjtckt3998]

Have been a fan for about 6 months and have just found this video and found it so uplifting! Being retired for 3 years and now I am HAVING to try growing our own food I was so anxious on where to start and in what order until seeing this. Due to health reasons it was unlikely I would be able to DIG a garden so when I came across Huw and Co talking about no dig it has given me a new enthusiasm for gardening. I have 2 dalek compost bins already full so will start off with 1 or 2 beds of cardboard on grass and compost. Please keep them coming.

[@davidhunter5062]

So in May we need to build a wigwam (16:15). I thought "what in the world is a wigwam for?" My first thought was in case any native Americans happened to be passing by my property. Then I went to your main page and put "wigwam" in the search line. Makes sense now. LOL. I learned MORE than one thing from this video.

[@joyjs857]

Thank you so much Huw. You have completely demystified the whole succession thing. I was losing the will to live with the bare soil patches in my my little plot for long periods of time. I watched many of your video on no dig, as a gardener of 64 I needed to change my usual tack and make things easier for myself. I couldn't bare not growing things. No dig works really well for me and it so much easier to spread successions in a smaller area, but the mixing of crops and knowing when to sow things a ready to transfer wasn't very synchronized. I feel truly enlightened, see your never to old to learn. Keep up the good work, as i'm very interested to see how the chop and drop goes.

[@tbpeters2642]

This video is a goldmine of information, and it’s free!!!! Love love love it. Thanks Huw for all your help and information I’ve learnt so much from you. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@kayscarlett3772]

You are the only one I’ve seen that really shows how to organize all the moving parts of seeding, transplanting succession planting, so we don’t lose valuable time! Thank you so much!

[@pearldiver66]

This has been my first year of veggie growing and your advice helped me realise I needed a plan! No wonder I was always running out of things to harvest and waiting for things to grow. I’m much more focused on when and how because of you wonderful advice, thank you our bellies appreciate it!

[@li22ietopper26]

I really appreciate the time stamps. It makes it so much easier to review the information in this video. Thank you.

[@helebaby5225]

Thanks Huw. Was just going to plan a season to season but now I'll attempt month to month. I'm fairly new with 3 raised beds. Love reading the comments and I look for replies and read those first. You answer questions I may not have even thought about. I imagine this plan is like planning weekly dinners at home which I recently started doing. Makes my week so much easier. Now my months will be easier. Cheers from Melbourne.

[@harriettejensen479]

Great idea, Huw! Because I also have several fruit trees, perennial bushes and chickens, I will be adding a couple of areas to the side of the beds (Crops to Harvest and Maintenance Tasks) so I have everything in one place and I don't end up being overwhelmed by tasks and I make sure my tools and garden beds are ready for the next crop.

[@HuwRichards]

Thank you so much Harriette! Oh I love that idea! Good luck this year and have a wonderful growing season.

[@daviddemerdziev7541]

Thanks for your help! It is much appreciated. I and my wife are just starting our first bed and we find all your videos useful!

You are very welcome Susan! :)

[@beautyforashes2230]

Loved this video! I've been making a monthly plan and I'll never do a yearly one again either. I use a spreadsheet, though, with each month separate. Then rows telling me when to start a crop indoors and when to plant it out, or when to direct sow. Another row with the germination time, another with the harvest time, another with notes on what'll follow that crop. Then general notes about it, and finally a row reminding me where I bought the seeds or plants, in case I have any questions if I bought them elsewhere. That way I see everything at a glance and have a definite month-by-month plan. It works wonderfully for me. I still have an insane amount of food growing out there now in February, so much that I'm going to have to get some family, friends and neighbors over here to take away all the excess they can use, so I can start the beds fresh for this season. I spend the cold season, when there's not much to do out there but harvest, planning, planning and planning. I never plan TOO inflexible though, since sometimes I'll change my mind and think, "You know, I think I'll put the second crop of broad beans over there instead of here.", haha! I really, really like your way of planning, though, it's a lot more visual and will help a lot more people than my spreadsheet method. And yes, definitely going to buy your book. The first one was wonderful, so I'm looking forward to this one. :)

[@kelliefollett1547]

I have always enjoyed gardening but wasn't making the most of my limited space. I completed this course and it was freeing for me. I have a plan now. It's all laid out for me to follow along and tuck things in at the right time, and move on to something else. Yes, I know things will not always go smoothly but this has removed a ton of stress for me. And I truly enjoyed the planning process. Thank you!

[@rashmiendenburg5115]

I love the simplicity and transparancy of this approach.

[@53peace]

Excellent service, thank you! I was sitting at my table with about 30 packets of seeds and wondering how to deal with them! This brilliant video has just helped me to tackle the planting and I’m certainly going to put them in a monthly order and hope I will have food abundance this year. Please carry on with the good work and Bless you for helping!

[@judyevans6074]

Thank you! So timely for me! I've been learning about succession planting in the same beds within a season for multiple harvests and although I have a fairly organized plan, I couldn't quite figure out how to get it all out of my head and onto paper. I'm starting my monthly worksheet tonight!

Thank you so much Judy! I hope it all goes so well :D

[@annakubica3932]

Thank You for so great improvement. I used for 2 years a list on 1 A4 paper with numbers of my raised beds from 1-13 classified in months and in every month I had written what to put there, sow, transplant and so on. You'rs system I will try this year, thank You :D

[@janetneill2660]

I'm rather new to the gardening for food game, I've grown ornamental plants and flowers for years! This was such a helpful video, and it was presented so clearly, that I was able to understand how to make a monthly plan. I struggled this year, I was late for many crops, (everything turned out just fine) but I love being able to think month by month and know what needs to be done ahead of time. I like thinking that way, I'm a planner. This really made sense to me. This year was an experiment as well in knowing what I do want to grow. Now I know how I can plan it all out, and hopefully not miss out on timeframes and to make the most of the beds I do have (We are already planning on expanding our 3 raised beds to at least be 6) Thank you so much!

[@richiegill6098]

Thanks for this one, Huw. I am planning our raised beds now and thinking of adding a trellis and am making my plan right now. Great timing for this video

Hi! The time stamps are helping a LOT, BUT after a recent update you can create chapters with it, accessable from the video itself, you just have to START with chapter one at 0:00, put the stamps in front and the chapter magic works. I hope you see this and we all can enjoy even more. Your videos are so inspiring!

[@Versuch_m_Fr_Ruch_macht_kluch]

Your right! So many things can happen in one Season. In the last year we had 4 Weeks a very cold weather and the tomatoes and the chillies and Physalis stoped growing-so i had to wait to plant the next Generation plants. Monthly is super!

[@margieb9917]

Love it! The only thing I'm going to add, until I know more about maturity times, is something like month 1 of 2, month 2 of 2 etc for each crop so I can see at a glance how long each has been there and how much longer they'll be there. Thank you so much!

[@cjlloyd53]

Brilliant, as usual. I have been subscribed to your channel for some time now and following much of your advice. The most helpful has been breaking tasks into small chunks which is helping me not only to gain more control over my food growing areas but also the rest of my garden. Thanks Huw .

I usually map my garden for spring, summer, fall-winter (I use my greenhouse, a hoop house, and cold frames). But I am trying to transition this year to a more productive plan--with succession and intercropping. The challenge for me is to plan ahead--what transplants do I need to go in next? It's tricky when you've not done it before. I made a master list on Excel with all the info I need for each plant. I want to put that into this planting plan. I think this is the next piece of the puzzle I need. Thanks for such excellent videos! I'm always learning something new from you!

Great information! Thank you for taking time to show us how to be more efficient in our gardening efforts! Keep up the good work! My current "free" project involves building a growing rack for my 1020 trays from cedar poles out of our woods. I just had to buy the screws for it. It should hold up to 20 trays. I will add LED lighting for each of the 5 shelf racks so my baby plants will get enough light. I'm starting most of my plants in my house this year. I'm taking Charles Dowding's advice on how he sets out baby plants. I notice you also do this, and both of you have such good success my husband and I are making the switch from direct sowing (except for carrots and parsnips and corn). Thanks again for your help!

Very smart way to plan..I have 2 new allotments plus my own garden so now I don't have to keep everything in my head and find out that I've missed the boat and not started my seeds off when I should have. Thanks Huw, and love your hoodie by the way (on my Permaculture Design Course at the moment) 👌🥰🌱
