Short video by Richard Perkins describing how careful bed planning and a growing calendar reduce daily stress in managing a market garden. Emphasizes creating a complete bed plan and seed order to maximize crop production during a short growing season and translating that plan into a day-by-day growing calendar for seeding, transplanting, and harvesting.

Ultimately, the economics come down to really careful bed planning. And what we want to end up with is a seed order, a complete bed plan that puts as many crops into our short growing season as possible. And then we want it translated into a growing calendar so that you know what to do every day of the season, what to seed, what to direct seed, what to transplant, what to harvest. And that takes a lot of stress out of the day to day activity of managing a market garden.
