    Minor boo-boo, will it matter?

    I started my garlic off in the winter last year in, what I thought was going to be, my root bed. But I got the rotation wrong and actually I've plated them in the legume bed right next to where the beans are going to go.
    I had meant to have them next to my carrots as alliums and carrots are good companion crops, but I understand that alliums and beans are not good to have next to each other.

    Am I best to:
    a) Not worry about it, they'll probably do fine.
    b) dig up the garlic and replant it in the root veg bed
    c) something else
    d) phone a friend

    Don't worry about it, I've not done it but a friend of mine had onions next to beans and they were fine. Might not be as good as if you'd had them further apart but a) you'll not know better as you can't compare with something you've not done and b) can you be bothered to move it all, I mean, you might damage it...........

    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?

      Me too, exactly the same thing. I had a senior moment, what's your excuse?

        A junior moment?

        I was going to put my excuse, but it's a tad long-winded:

        I decided to do a 4-bed rotation system, but just picked each bed randomly, so the rotation is more of a 'figure of 8'!
        As a result I got confused over which bed was roots next and rotated them diagonally into the old potato bed instead of moving them into the old brassica bed!

        We've all been there, right?...Right?

        So are you just leaving your TS?

        Ta for the assurance Alison. I'll probably leave them then. I wasn't too sure how happy garlic would be being moved, especially as they're all sending up green shoots now.

            Crop rotation is a suggestion. It's not the law!

              I get in a right state with rotation especially when it comes to the swap from Summer to Winter as there is always something waiting to go in where a crop is not ready to come out and end up whacking them anywhere, like last years leeks

                I'm sure in my few years of proper gardening I've planted everything that shouldnt go with everything, and its generally grown.
                I wouldnt be in the slightest bit worried, I would be (almost) 100% confident that it will grow.

                I never get my thong in a thwist about what I plant where, I know where I want to plant stuff, but if I dont get it right its not the end of the world, for me at least.

                  Yes, they are well settled.
                  The problem was that when I put them in, that was the only spare patch of ground

                    I do try where crop rotation is concerned, honest, but I usually find that I'm not organised enough. Must try harder. Having said that, the bean trench has been in the same place for the last 5 years and I still get an abundance of runner beans every time. Maybe it has more to do with how much nourishment is added to the soil every season and not so much on what other veg leaves behind.
