    Rightly or wrongly, I don't have a crop rotation plan as such. I just don't plant the same crop in the same bed in succesional years........................the bed gets at least one years rest before it "may" have that crop again.

      4 bed crop rotation. 1 - Peas and Beans 2- Brassicas 3 - Curcurbiits and Alliums 4 Roots. I am not rigid about it but the bulk goes where it should.

      Sorry......Hi and welcome to the vine

        Norfolkgrey you are confusing two different things.
        crop rotation and succession cropping not same thing but they similar.
        crop rotation is yearly process
        succession cropping is changing a crop during same season.
        given the small plots most people grow there veg on crop rotation is very ineffective
        when come to prevent pest and disease issues.

          Annual crop rotation and true crop rotation. True crop rotation has no season.

            Ok succession. If it is in bed 1 - peas and beans will be succeeded by more peas and beans, plot 2 brassicas followed by more brassicas etc. etc. until the following year

              Same for me...sow lettuce every 2/3 weeks..they just get squeezed in the lettuce area. Beans plants get sown at the same time as a bean , same planting hole. Though leeks follow spuds. What ever I've got to plant up gets sown after the garlic.

                When do you plan to sow these? I'm interested in the timing of how you can get 3 crops from the same plot in a year.

                  Err... I have been accused of running my garden like an military operation. This could be why. Plans below are subject to change...







                  Well, you did ask!



                  By the way, this plan does NOT include things I am going to grow at my friend's house. Currently those are on a pieace of paper, but its a bit more simple as she has a big square area, not lots of little nooks and crannies and individual pots.

                    As VC has said, how do you manage that? I plant out my french bean plants very late May, beginning of June and also plant a seed at the same time. They are generally still producing / or drying when the frost hits.

                      I do the same although do grow lettuce and other similar leafy stuff in between which have cleared out by the time the beans (or peas for that matter) get too tall.

                      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                          What's your locations Melommen? I'm in Wiltshire, which is a reasonably warm location for the UK and my beans are just getting up to full speed by Aug 1st with plenty more to harvest.

                            I am guessing he is in one of the warmer states in north america, they love "bush" varieties over that side of the atlantic

                              If it is the case that OP is american, then he will not be aware of the catch crop method used over here, which due to our short summer is more productive & reliable than successive planting of similar crops in the same bed
