reharvest

Pick crops twice

To reharvest is to harvest again—gathering a crop or resource from the same source after a previous harvest.

This applies to fields replanted after an initial yield, forests where timber regrows, or any renewable resource collected in cycles: The field can be reharvested every six weeks during the growing season.
