Game Plan

How do I plan succession plantings of lettuce or other crops?

Set up your succession once and Heirloom creates every planting for you, so a steady harvest no longer depends on your memory. In the Game Plan, click Add planting(s), choose the crop, then set the Number of plantings and the Time between plantings, from 0 to 10 days or 1 to 10 weeks: every planting is created in one go and kept together as a group.

Each planting is the first one moved later by the interval: its nursery sowing, its planting date and its tasks shift together. It works the same for cut flowers: zinnias or sunflowers every two weeks give you stems every week.

The steps are in Plan a succession.
