9 tips to start being more self-sufficient in vegetable

3.Succession Plant for Endless Produce: Beets, Carrots, Turnips, Radish.

In addition to high-calorie easy-to-store staples, improve your yields by growing nitrogen-scavenging root veggies. You can plant turnips, beets, and carrots in 60-75 days. Salad radishes can be available in 22 days, and big radish similar to daikon demands about 60 days.

With succession planting, you can have a constant stock of these veggies from approximately 6 weeks after your last frost through to two weeks after your first frost. Stretch this even longer with cold frames and row covers.

These 4 crops also have delightful greens. Beet greens can be used like spinach. Turnip and radish greens are deliciously fermented. Carrot tops combine parsley-like taste and minerals to bone stocks.
