Succession Planting: The Trick To Doubling Or Tripling Your Harvest

-






In one of my early years of gardening, I made a rookie mistake. I planted leaf lettuce — a lot of leaf lettuce.

When those first early tender leaves started to appear out of the ground, fresh salad was a delightful treat.

But soon the lettuce was full on – and try as we might, we couldn’t pick or eat it fast enough!

If I had better understood succession planting back then, we still could have had a steady supply without the rush to consume the lettuce before it turned bitter.

There is no clear instruction on how to use a Q-tip rightfully, which ultimately leads to many people experiencing ear damage.

by  N.Morgan Cannabidiol  is a phytocannabinoid discovered in 1940. It is one of some 113 identified cannabinoids in cannabis plants and accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract. In 2018, clinical research on cannabidiol included preliminary studies of anxiety, cognition, movement disorders, and pain.  Cannabidiol can be taken into the body in multiple ways, including by inhalation of cannabis smoke or vapor, as an aerosol spray into the cheek, and by  mouth . It may be supplied as  CBD oil  containing only CBD as the active ingredient (no included tetrahydrocannabinol[THC] or terpenes), a full-plant CBD-dominant hemp extract oil, capsules, dried cannabis, or as a prescription liquid solution.  CBD  does not have the same  psychoactivity  as THC and may change the effects of THC on the body if both are present. As of 2018, the mechanism of action for its  biological effects  has not been determined. Copper Home Page APeX Humic Fulvic Ultra Curcumin Relaxat
