Crop Rotation: What should follow tomatoes?

[thistlebloom]

Betterhens, that's a nice little chart, easily remembered and I even made a quick sketch of it. The only difference of opinion I have with it is the tomatoes following potatoes with only a one year break. They share many of the same diseases, and a 3 year rotation is recommended for night shades. Of course it's not an issue if you don't grow spuds.

Here's a rotation based on plants "needs" for nutrition: http://www.betterhensandgardens.com/2010/04/04/garden-crop-rotation-a-simple-system/
In this system root crops would preferably follow tomatoes. I think using this system has saved me from completely losing my potates and nightshades to potato beetles.

I just spent an hour on that site! Lots of great information. Thanks!

Thanks on the chart, and you may be right about the potatoes. I need to give that some thought. :/
