Why this step matters

The end of one crop is useful information for the next. Record enough to change a decision without turning the garden into paperwork.

Your practical steps

  1. Check each crop’s harvest guidance and sample for readiness.
  2. Record harvests in a consistent unit.
  3. Decide whether another sowing fits the remaining local season.
  4. Write one thing to repeat, one to change, and one to stop.
Ready to move on when…

You have a season review and a realistic next planting or rest period.

Bring the step to life

Return to your site observations before expanding the garden. Work at the pace of your garden; this is a sequence of decisions, not a fixed six-week course.

Keep your progress in the growing-season checklist. Local conditions and crop-specific guidance take priority over a generic task list.
