      Find a few coloured pencils to colour in the squares and it will look very professional.

        I tried on of BM's links but it wouldn't do a big enough patch of land, so I tried the one on the S*tt*ns website (free 30 day trial, very pricey £15 a year after that), there were a few plants missing but it gives me the general gist as well as an idea of how many seeds of each type I need to be sowing:

        Have a look and see what you think, I am going with a 5 year rotation plan in mind. Any ideas on what I might try in the gaps in the veg patch? I want a cottage/cutting garden at the end (with both peas and sweet-peas on bamboo wigwams.

        There is a plan to sit on a bench in the middle of that after a days work with a cuppa/glass of wine and enjoy the view of the Chilterns to the north and avoid the winds hence why it's laid out like that.

        The greenhouse has some early new potatoes that should be out the way once the toms/aubergine/cucumber start needing the space. I also have a holey blow away I am thinking of strapping to the back of one of the sheds to fit more cukes in.

          Hi Uncle,

          This looks like the one that S*tt*ns have used to power their app: Gardening Apps & Software - Suttons Gardening Grow How

            I think I've taken the design as far as I want to now (if anyone wants to see it, it's the first pic here https://greengardengate.wordpress.co...y-preparations) and the suggested app I trialled was pretty handy tho not worth the annual fees if you ask me!

            Suttons if they were savvy would let you sign up for free as it links to the products on their website.

            It was useful to plan out how many plants I want in an area, or indeed how much space I need for a specific number of plants tho.

            Thanks for all your tips!

              four year rotation is always any issue that's why i use the plant family rotation system. it gives better break down how break how to plant you veg. depend of you vegetable like and dislikes there 8 major families and a few minor ones. 8-10 year rotation at min not counting perennial veg.
