How do I plan a salad greens business?

Plan your greens as successions and Heirloom keeps salad coming every week, with the beds, tasks and harvests worked out for you. In the Game Plan, add lettuce or salad mix with Add planting(s), then set the Number of plantings and a Time between plantings of one or two weeks: each planting gets its own dates, harvest window and tasks. See Plan a succession.

Keep the time between plantings no longer than the harvest window, the market gardener rule, so each planting takes over from the last. Turn on Used Space in the eye button to see, week by week, how many beds your greens take. See How the Game Plan works.

Each week, open Weekly Harvests and split what each planting can give between your market, restaurants and CSA, day by day. Heirloom creates the harvest tasks and turns a cell yellow before you promise more than the beds have. The steps are in Plan the week’s harvests.
