Plant Rotation Suggestions for Hobby Farming

Rotating the plants (crops) on your farm enhances plant health and soil quality. To rotate your plantings, divide your garden into several sections and plant each section with a different family of plant. Next year, plant something from the next family. For instance, plant squash in section one the first year; the next year, plant peas there; next year, plant tomatoes; and well, you get the idea.

Plant Family	Examples
Gourds	Squash, melons, zucchini, pumpkins, cucumbers
Legumes	Beans and peas
Nightshades	Eggplants, potatoes, peppers, and tomatoes
Carrots	Carrot, dill, parsnips, and parsley
Mustards	Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, radishes, and turnips
Beets	Beets, spinach, and chard
Onions	Onions, leeks, and garlic
