Garden Bed Layout 2019- 2020

Larger bed Rotation

Rotation of large beds

Fitz Farm Manor

Garlic beds get dug up to harvest and then need rototilling to level out after

Plant tomatoes the year after

Squash needs minimal tillage so squash should follow tomatoes

Since Garlic is planted in the fall – the year of Garlic planting is shown as Fallow/Garlic- spring fallow can be used for Rapini, lettuce and other short season crops

Garlic is show as a spring crop- can be followed by Tillage radish, sometimes by rutabaga or short crops like spinach or lettuce

Rotation from 2020 will follow this but there may be changes

	Front Bed/Willow Grass Beds (2 separate beds)	Field East	Field West	Main Bed behind house
2018	Garlic	Squash	Tomato	Fallow/Garlic
2019	Squash	Garlic	Fallow/Garllic	Tomato
2020	Fallow/Garlic	Tomato	Garlic	Squash
