I use a simple plan. Legumes, Leaves, Fruit, Roots.

Leaves need nitrogen, so they follow the legumes. Fruit-stuff like corn, tomatoes etc. Roots are carrots onions etc.

I also do a little companion planting beans with corn or potatoes. Basil with tomatoes.

I have a diagram of my beds-1 page for each year. Just write down the date and what was planted on the diagram, and keep them stapled together in a folder that I can just glance at to see what I did when.

Whatever works for you.

i like your LLFR plan. i can try that, but i have more leaves and fruit and root plants than legumes each year. that’s been my problem.

I didn’t know basil and tomatoes got along well. They do on the plate! I’ll put some together this year then in the garden.
