Im just putting the finishing touches to the  plan of this yrs lottyand have a couple issues i could do with some advice on.


I have placed my row of peas next to the potatoes, Are these good companions? As i have somewhere in my head that they dont like being next to each other. But i could be wrong.

Also i have planned on my Squash plants (which are bullys) being next to my strawberrys, My idea in this is the strawberrys being finished will allow me to train the squash over them as they need. But will this harm my strawberry bed ?



Any advice would be great. I always seem to have problems getting everything in. Would you believe i had everthing sorted and realised i forgot room for the courgettes lol

I have never ever bothered about what I grow next to my peas. But what do I know? 

I would not let your squash trail over anything, through maybe, but not over. All plants need light to photosynthesise and this is still very important after fruiting. You'd end up with really weedy plants, if any at all.

The crop rotation advice here http://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/crop-rotation/four-year-crop-rotation.php shows legumes following potatoes (I assume it means they grow in the next bed/area and roll into the next bed the following year), that's what I've planned anyway
