Hi All,
As you might remember i have 4 planters in the garden (vegi trugs 1.8 metres long) i had every intention of doing some sort of rotation on these but not sure what happened last year but its all gone to pot maybe down to to many seedlings. Brain not helping at the moment so i am blaming it !
Advice needed on how to can rectify the situation, year one the planters where filled with fen black with some mushroom compost. Feb this year i have added a bag of multipurpose compost and topsoil to each as it had compacted down quite a bit.
Year 1 This year so far
Bed 1 Garlic, beetroot, courgette and strawberries Garlic left in place, onion (from seed), carrots, Leeks
Bed 2 Cabbage, shallots, fennel Fennel left in place, this weekend moved cabbage, b. sprouts and salad crops in
Bed 3 Cabbage, brocolli inc failed carrots Shallots or Onions (lost the label)
Bed 4 Leeks, B Spouts Leeks not harvested yet
I want to get back to some sort of plan so can anyone help?? Beans and Peas are going elsewhere so there not included in the rotation. Tomatoes, aubergine, strawberries, chilli and peppers are all going into the greenhouse. All the beds have some primroses at the end to give colour and attract the insects over.
Suggesttions on what else i can put into the beds this year and ideas for next please.
Veg i would like to fit in include pumpkin, squash, courgette, pak choi, PSB, Parsnips, more carrots etc
I have 2 large buckets and am tempted to use these for the pumpkin and squash with sweetcorn and beans for 3 sisters containers (bag of manure and bag of topsoil on top). Anyone tried this???

How about putting a small came wigwams in one and utilising it for one of the smaller climbing squash such as munchkin? I've never found the three sisters system did well in any setting, they are all greedy feeders so none do as well as they could, but I have grown strawberries and sweetcorn successfully together if the strawberries are earlies.
Hi
Was considering that for next year maybe.
