Most of my crops are started in modules. There are always pots and cells of plantlets ready to be planted in any space that shows its face. By having the plants already off and running there is no time wasted waiting for seeds to sprout and then the chore of thinning out.
This lettuce wasted planted in a bed today and will be ready to cut within a month. Lots of ots friends are ready and waiting to fill in other gaps as they appear.
Always try to have one crop ready to follow another. I have trays of leeks ready to follow the new potatoes when they are lifted, sweetcorn is following spring cabbage and all manner of salad crops follow each other.
