THE EARLINESS PACK: THE KEY TO GARDEN SUCCESS

Why should you go for earliness in the garden?

Opting for so-called "early" varieties in horticulture has many advantages.

Faster harvests

First of all, they allow for a quick harvest, which is ideal for horticultural professionals and their customers, amateur gardeners. They allow for planting earlier in the year, shortening the cultivation cycle and therefore freeing up space for other crops or increasing the number of harvests in order to have an impact on production costs. Moreover, early varieties meet gardeners' expectations of harvesting their crops ever more quickly.

Limiting the risk of disease

Furthermore, growing early varieties reduces health risks in the garden. Plants that ripen earlier are less exposed to diseases and pests that develop later in the season. One example is late blight. While there are indeed tomato varieties that are blight resistant, growing early varieties is an additional protective measure. Early varieties can be harvested before conditions favorable to blight fully take hold. By ripening earlier, these plants are less exposed to periods of high humidity that facilitate the spread of late blight.

Optimizing watering

Finally, by growing varieties with a shorter cycle and earlier in the season, water consumption is limited. This is a crucial issue given the sometimes extreme conditions experienced in the height of summer. Optimizing watering is thus a third factor in choosing vegetable varieties that are considered early.
