Here are a few of the crops I grow in my own garden in the same space that you can incorporate into your 2013 gardening plan. I've found that by pulling out one crop and then following it with another, you make great use of space and introduce different types of plants to the soil. While I'm no official "master gardener", I know this system works because I've done it year after year. And I don't worry so much about rotating crops from one year to the next cos with this plan you're rotating crops WITHIN each year.
That said, here are some great ideas for in-season crop succession!
Crop Succession Recommendations
1st Crop (plant date) 2nd Crop (harvest 1st, plant date for 2nd)
Fava Beans ( March) >> Squash (plant in June)
Peas (March) >> Basil (June)
Potatoes (March) >> Onions/Carrots (June/July)
Corn (April) >> Spinach/Kale/Arugula (August/Sept)
Good luck and please contact me if you would like more recommendations for succession planting!
