  • Planting plan (again)

    Hello peeps,

    I am having a little trouble with sorting out where to put all my potential veg this year. I have 4 raised beds (plus one already full of garlic & onions), all have had organic soil improver dug into them & 2 have had manure added too.

    I was thinking of putting Potatoes and Peas/Beans in the 2 manured beds and Brassicas and Roots in the non manured beds, however that leaves me with nowhere for my Sweetcorn, Courgettes, Squashes & Pumpkins.

    Where do you think these would go best? Would it be possible to grow the roots in the same bed as the Brassicas as i assume that these would be harvested before the Brassicas? This would then leave me one non-manured bed free for the Sweetcorn etc.

    The Brassicas i am growing are PSB, Red Cabbage, Oriental Kale, Pak Choi, Swiss Chard, Swede & Turnips. The Roots are Carrots, Beetroot, Parsnips, Radish & Lettuce.

    Any advice greatly appreciated, many thanks.

    Sweetcorn, Courgettes, Squashes & Pumpkins would very much like the manure bed if given a preference.

      I suppose what i'm really asking is is it Practical to grow the roots & Brassicas together, as i've not grown much of either before.

        Four bed rotation, no?

        1) alliums (onions)
        2) peas & beans
        3) brassicas
        4) spuds & roots (followed by squash as the ground is cleared)

        That's what I do, more or less.
