Follow On Crops - Broadway - 15-11-2020

Hello Folks

I've been working on my plans for next year and wondered if one of you guru's could check / confirm I'm ok with the follow-on crops suggested below?

Khol-rabi and Paq Choi to follow Potatoes
Spinach and Chard to follow Broad Beans

Also, can Broccoli follow Onions??

Thanks in advance.....

Why are you asking?
Concerns about crop rotation or timing?

OK - I'm out!!

To be honest i have never bothered, different books will say differing things too. I just plant whats ready where their is space, I grow a lot of brassicas so strict rotation is useless for me. I do lime my brassica beds every year though

My old pops, used to grow the same crops in the same bed year after year and all was fine


So also pointless asking me Smile

I move my brassicas to the next bed along then everything else gets slotted in where there’s space. Seems to work out fine for me.

My rotation:
I have two 15 x 25ft ish patches which are divided into halves mentally, beds are then 1,2 3,4, duh!
I don't grow cabbages or potatoes, and the carrots have to be alongside the kale for netting purposes. So each year whatever was in bed 1, gets shoved to bed 2, and so on. As for follow on crops. Where there's a space, fill it, until weather deteriorates then give up. I'm not a good winter gardener. So Danny perhaps you're a tad over- thinking it. Smile

Hiya JJB

I was but not anymore, I like the "where there's space" approachSmile

I've not really done much over winter before but would like to have some crops in next year. I will also have a number of perennial plants so will be interested in how they get on.

If you've had a disease in one part of the garden - like onion white rot, don't plant onions there again - at least for a few years.
If you think you should be "rotating" crops, don't plant the same thing in the same place every year. That's about it
