As there are 4 trugs (1.8m length) i think i should have a hand at crop rotation, so the question is there anything i can plant now?
I am going to be picking up some Cabbage plants as well as onion and garlic sets from Defland on the following Saturday.
You do not say how many plants and sets you are getting but may I suggest you put them all in one bed and this will help you with your rotation plan, and future plantings.
Just remember that your garlic and onions may not be ready for harvesting before you start planting out what ever you intend to grow next year, so you might find this restricts your future plans.
Plus if you have to give winter protection it will be relatively easy to protect one bed as opposed to bits of all four.
In other words do not be too hasty and do some planning.
For your information I do my bed planning before I even buy my seeds including taking what crops I have on the go throughout the winter months into consideration.
I also generally find that I can follow my late maturing garlic & onions with a late cropping variety of something e.g. Calabrese & Cauliflowers or my winter crops for the following year.
I hope these examples of my procedures will be of use to you....Tg
