Create your own plan — step 7 of 8
By considering crop rotations, planting breaks, companion plantings, and the right timing, we plan the growing areas as efficiently as possible so we can harvest fresh and healthy vegetables even in winter.
First, please have the documents for your favorite vegetables from chapter 3, “Select plants”, and your calendar with the to-do list for all months from chapter 4, “Overview and organization”, ready.

Check your list for vegetables that require an activity in March. In this case, there are three: broccoli, sweet pepper, and garlic. Sweet pepper and broccoli are not transplanted until May, but because they germinate for a long time and grow slowly, they can already be pre-grown in March.
Garlic: Transplant from March to April. Garlic can also overwinter in the bed, so it can be transplanted in fall and harvested in the summer of the following year. Garlic is a medium feeder and easy to grow.

As in this example, it is very likely that your plan has some gaps. To fill these gaps a bit or make your plan as efficient as possible, you need to do a bit of puzzling – hopefully something you enjoy.
Do you like parsley? Then add it to your growing plan - but be careful! The only right place is - in this example - in front of the carrots.
With a 3-year planting break, you count from the following year up to 3. A suitable growing area needs at least 4 sub-areas.
