Bed 1 Bed 2 Bed 3 Bed 4
Brassicas and leafy vegetables Alliums Legumes
Other – Rooting and fruiting crops Tomatoes,
Season 1 Cabbage, pak choi, silverbeet etc. Onions, leeks, garlic, chives Peas, beans, broad beans, okra etc.
potatoes, carrots, celery
Season 2 Legumes Brassicas Other Alliums
Season 3ear 4 Alliums Legumes Brassicas Other
Season 4 Other Alliums Legumes Brassicas
Give it a go this year. Remember to keep notes because you will forget what crop you planted last season. Happy planting!You can also read
