Show Notes

What if some of your vegetable garden crops came back year after year — with less digging, less fuss, and a continuous harvest?

In this episode, I’m joined by gardening expert Charlie Nardozzi, author of The Continuous Vegetable Garden, to explore how to design a self-sustaining food garden that produces continuously through the seasons.

Charlie shares practical strategies for succession planting, perennial crops, fruit, gardening in shade, and no-dig gardening. We also talk about vertical gardening and how to keep tomato and pepper plants from one year to the next—so you can have an extra-early tomato and pepper harvest. 

If you’d like less maintenance and more of an ongoing harvest, this episode will inspire you to plant smarter — not harder.

If you’re looking for more on crops you can grow in the shade, check out this guide to fruits and vegetables for shade.
