[shannonbrooke07]

has any one finished planning out their 2023 vegetable garden planting diagram?

Shannon up to yet I know which beds my this years brassicas and peas will be planted in but that's as far as I've got.

How are you doing with yours?

[Nicos]

Gosh no, not yet.
I do know where my spuds are going, but that’s about all at the moment

[Snoop Puss]

I only roughly plan now. So long as I don't plant the same thing in the same bed two years running, that will do for me.

[Bren In Pots]

That’s what I do Snoop, my brassicas and peas are moved to the next bed along then everything else is planted in a different place to last year.

How are you doing with yours?

yes I got whole garden planned out. it took me
from christmas and new years. it was easy since
I worked out templates for the timing and companion
planting blocks over the summer.

Some done and some crops in that will be overwintered, but was perusing the seed catalogue last night to see what new things I might like to squeeze in.

[shannonbrooke07]

given economy better idea would grow for storage instead of novelty.
not a good year to try new things.

[annie8]

I know what you mean but got lots of tried and tested that give a good return on the investment. I just like to try a couple of new things every year- nothing outrageous, just thinking calabrese and have put in autumn onions. Am also trying to maximise the harvest i get throughout the year so I get better at using the beds the whole year not just in summer. Have been doing this a few years now so moved to growing red cabbage, cauliflowers, purple sprouting broccoli and cavolo Nero.

[Snoop Puss]

^Me too. I like to add at least one new thing in to the mix each year. New veg to us or just a new variety. If I hadn't done that, I'd never be growing winter squash. And they're a staple now.

[annie8]

Usually I just try growing a few of something new. Last year it was parsnips and they worked so well will grow again this year, but larger quantity.
