You would already know what is a vegetable plot; but did you know there are so many ways to sow seeds on your plot rather than the usual way of sowing in a straight line. Lets walk them through one by one.

First, it has to be understood that there are some vegetables that needs to be sown in a greenhouse or on a windowsill before being introduced to the great outdoors. If you use the following techniques you will certanly succed in growing your own nice vegetables from those small seeds.

First up is Successional sowing. Now, this is that method that involves sowing small quantities of one crop at regular intervals so that your harvest is spread. You should not sow three rows of radish or lettuce all in one go as this is not the right thing to do. Every fortnight and seeds half a row is what I would recommend. A steady succession of crops is guaranteed in this way instead of an awful lot.

Next is Intercropping. Some growing vegetables like radishes should be sown between the rows of slow growing crops which will eventually will need the sapce. By this time, the radishes will be mature and you will have managed to make an extra harvest!. For those with limited space, this is the recommended technique to grow your favourite vegetables.

Last method that I’d like to discuss is catch cropping. This is for fast growing vegetables. Vegetables like rocket or turnip and leafy salad vegetables are examples of these. It is pretty simple - all you will need to do is to sow these vegetable seeds on land and that should not be planted up with any other crop until later in the year.
