No Dig Gardening: Early Harvests, Succession Planting & Summer Crops in a Warm Spring

I feel so excited in late May! Many vegetables I've been watching for months, suddenly are ready to harvest. The warm spring has given us a wonderful start, and I'm seeing the rewards now — from multi-sown beetroot, lettuce and overwintered broad beans sown 26th October, to the ninth year of no dig potatoes in the same beds. See here https://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/reso... for succession ideas. No dig means you have easy possibilities for freedom of planting, almost wherever you want. I have no fixed rotation, moving new plants around a little without following a formula. This allows me easily to keep the garden full as we go forward through summer. It’s an easy and efficient way to keep beds full, simply popping in new plants as gaps appear after harvests of salad onions, beetroot, broad beans, lettuce, cabbage and fennel. Plus lots more to come soon. That’s succession planting in action, helping to keep harvests flowing right through summer and beyond. See my free Quick Guide to no dig -https://nodigquickguide.com and find my seed collections here - https://shop.charlesdowding.co.uk/pro... In this tour, I show you the garden as it is now: Succession planting of squash after spinach and turnips Benefits of fleece for warmth and pest protection Garlic harvest from the greenhouse — the biggest I’ve grown! Composting with various materials Interplanting, including beetroot with garlic, and cucumbers where spinach was Managing pests like cabbage root fly and leaf miner Seed saving from peas and lettuce Growing under cover in the polytunnel and greenhouse — basil, cucumbers, tomatoes, and melons The warm, dry spring has been a challenge for watering, but also a huge opportunity for early crops and planting. There's so much to do and enjoy in the garden right now. 🔗 Helpful links: 🧑‍🌾 My seeds and varieties for succession planting - https://www.charlesdowding.co.uk/reso... for succession ideas. 🌱 My seed collections - https://shop.charlesdowding.co.uk/pro... 📱 Garden planner app - https://charlesdowding.gardenplanner.com 📘 Free Quick Guide to No Dig - https://nodigquickguide.com 🛡️ InsectoNet mesh (as seen on the celery) - https://www.crocus.co.uk/product/_/in... 00:00 Introduction, harvesting beetroot 00:42 Broad beans, when to harvest 01:17 Lettuce and potatoes, no rotation trial 01:43 Sowing for succession plantings 02:10 Squash interplanted with turnips, both covered with fleece 03:00 Surface compost from compost toilet, weeds on bed with cow manure 03:49 Plan to interplant squash with spinach soon to finish 04:30 Chard, flowering, soon to finish 04:49 Lack of rainfall, managing watering 05:20 Turnip plants under fleece lacking moisture, starting to flower, some damage from cabbage root fly 06:54 Asparagus, one left too long 08:23 Peas for shoots, and ideas for succession plantings 09:17 Garlic harvest, from greenhouse, very large - some rust 10:55 Old and new compost - solid sides around heap 11:58 A finished heap with some woodchip and cauliflower leaves 12:49 Courgettes, survived frost 13:48 More squash, and outdoor garlic with interplanted beetroot 14:48 More courgettes with fleece over 15:09 Dig/no dig trial beds - succession interplanting with spinach, cucumber, beetroot, potatoes 16:13 Onions and carrots under fleece 16:50 Insectomesh cover as part of trial - growing celery with/without cover - leaf miner damage to uncovered plants 18:44 Leeks, affected by leaf miner, now flowering 19:19 Celeriac under Thermacrop, against insects 20:11 Dahlias, agretti and sweet peas 21:03 More outdoor garlic, with rust 21:31 French beans, different types - need protecting from cold nights 22:44 Carrots not helped by having fleece cover 23:18 Broccoli and cauliflower under mesh cover, dill and broad beans 24:00 Polytunnel - basil, with mole disturbance! 25:04 Cucumbers with garlic interplants 25:56 Dwarf marigolds and tomatoes - cherry and beef 26:28 Melons watermelons and luffa 26:45 Plants for seed - mustard, onions, spinach, lettuce 28:34 Outside - peas from homesaved seed, Oskar variety 29:31 Fennel, spinach and spring onion - all in one small bed 30:17 In the greenhouse – basil and melon, how to care for 31:50 Tomatoes and celery, how often to water 32:43 Outro - keeping the garden full 🎥 Filmed 20th May 2025, at Homeacres no dig market garden in Somerset, UK.
