Last season I planted peas in early spring followed by green beans, then green beans again planted in mid August. Seemed to work out with decent size crops. Will be moving to fresh new bed this season.
Not really sure how to word this.
Just wondering if it's possible to rotate plant family crops from one bed to another each year, while succession planting same crops in each bed year after year.
Confusion?
Im thinking it's ok.
Thanks for the comment, I've read some people never rotate, some rotate only when they want to and some say you should always rotate every year to limit the build-up of pest. Also wanted to add some cabage with the collard greens, but read you can't grow cabage with collard greens. A lot to...
I'm back,
Haven't been on here in a while.
Looking for a rotation plan for my vegtables I will be growing I have listed. Or any suggestions on crops to add to my list. Still new to this but think I'm close. I'm keeping fruit crops in pots for now cause my tomatoes need evening shade from to...
That was my plan follow the peas with green beans. I have three beds, one, two, three. There is a different plant family in each bed. The three plant families will rotate clockwise from bed to bed each year, if thats what you're talking about.
Trying to come up with a 4'X8' three bed crop rotation plan, by plant family for next spring
Bed 1:
peas
green beans
Bed 2:
cabage
collard greens
Lettuce
Bed 3:
Onions
garlic
Carrots
I'm leaving the fruit crop out of rotation for now because only have three beds.
My tomatoes, peppers...
I harvested two times this summer, flowered again in August, will get a few more it looks like before frost.
Size of peppers are 1-1/2" X 1" now.
Estimated 1st frost in about 4-6 weeks. Been moving potted pepper plants from outside to inside garage when below 70° outside at night, move back...
The three options is:
Onion seeds
Onion sets
Onion starts
I believe you're saying 10/15 is started from onion seed.
The spring plant is started from onion starts.
Zone 7a, usually plant around mid to late October with onion sets.
Not sure about onion starts.
Prefer seeds.
Also can the same seeds be planted in early spring with good results?
Trying to learn about the Texas supersweet onion, and planting times. I believe it is a shortday which would be correct for my zone 7a. It can be planted from seeds or starts. I prefer seeds. Its also known as a 1015 onion.
I think the plant date is 10/15 in fall.
Maybe best results is fall...
Lol,
My pepper seeds was a mixed variety of all colors that produced 25-30 bell peppers per plant @ 3" wide and long. Have made lots of stuffed bell peppers.
I think the peppers did ok, but I think could have been better.
There was a lot of bell peppers on the plants, 25 to 30, but small like 2-1/2 to 3" . Not sure why so small, other than maybe to many bell peppers to support large ones.
I did have enough to make stuffed bell peppers dinner 2 times...
Looks like my bell peppers are done growing. I have 25-30 bell peppers on each plant. The majority of the pepper's are 2-1/2" in diameter X 2-1/2" long. They are starting to turn orange it looks like. Their not getting any bigger cause so many I guess.
Maybe I should cut all but 12 off each...
