Crop rotation

Carrots and garlic growing companionably
As space becomes available in the plot I plan to practice crop rotation as best I can in such a small garden. This is what I plan to do over the next month:

Take the climbing beans out and plant winter spinach, silver beet, beetroot, dill, lettuce and chard in their place.

Take out the chili and marigold plants. The tomatoes are already compost. Dig in the marigolds. Lime the soil.
Replace with garlic, carrots,  spring onions and lettuce.

Take out the cosmos. Plant peas on the wire frame,        surrounded by coriander, lettuce, small brassicas & carrots. Peas are likely to be pilfered. Over late summer I enjoyed picking beans so much I would like to give peas a try and hope for the best.
