Planting plan

I thought I would put down my initial plan for what will be planted and when during spring and summer. Haven't got it all figured out yet, but first things first. I am able to stick with LW's Guild 1 planting guide (with just a few exclusions in the first garden bed as it will be too cold for planting still).

Guild 1 On Plan V2, this will start at the top large garden bed - chooks would have been on there for 2-3 wks prior to planting to prepare the soil. Planting of seedlings will happen early September (so a month later than the book's suggestion).

Pigeon Pea (a legume, something I have no idea about, so more research on that!)
Brocolli
Potato
Peas
Basil
Cabbage
Celery
Lettuce
Parsley
Silver beet
Beans
Beetroot
Carrots
Leeks
Spring onions

I will need to fill the gaps where tomatoes/capsicums/eggplants won't be able to be put in yet.

Guild 1 will then be planted into the next garden bed to the right once the chooks have been there for 2-3 wks - so around mid-September. I still will still not likely be able to plant tomatoes/capsicums/eggplants.

Guild 1 will then move on to the long garden bed at the very bottom of the plan and this time include tomatoes/capsicums/eggplants (tomatoes will also be planted in my front yard which is more of a sun trap) - these will be planted early October.

Kumara's can be planted in November.

Guild 2 then kicks in around early December when the top garden bed is ready for harvesting. So the vegetables coming out will gradually be replaced with the following (including crop rotation) over the next four or so weeks - as fast as they come out, new seedlings go in to avoid bare ground.

Pigeon pea
Chook fodder weeds
Mustard
Daikon radishes
Cress
Bok choy
Chickweed etc
Capsicum
Beetroot
Lettuce
Basil
Eggplant
Tomato
Cabbage
Carrots
Celery
Silver beet
Parsley
Beans
Spring onions

Guild 2 then moves onto the garden bed on the right around mid-December.

Sweetcorn will be planted in the long bed above the lowest one in November as well as the small bed next to the apple tree.

Moving on around the garden, hopefully the left side of my garden will have enough sun (in full shade at the moment) and we will be able to plant a modified Guild 2 which I have called Guild 2a. This will happen in January. Around the same time, the lowest long bed will be ready for harvesting and replacing with Guild 2a as well.

Beans
Cabbage
Cress & mustard
Lettuce
Spring onions
Radish
Silver beet
Beetroot
Brocolli
Carrots
Cauliflower
Celery
Leeks

Guild 4 - is the winter garden. I may actually put this up in my front yard in my existing square-foot garden as it gets good sunlight and is still sheltered and not likely to be affected by frosts.

Brocolli
Cabbage
Celery
Parsley
Lettuce
Silverbeet
Beetroot

Guild 5 - Zucchini, squash and cucumbers will be planted out of the garden beds in compost heaps to have as much space as they like to roam - October/November.

Guild 6 - Onions and carrots will be planted Sep/Oct and again in April/May out of of the garden bedsin compost heaps. Once harvested, it reverts back to compost.

This will take me through to Feb/March when I will need to come up with the replacement guilds for the top beds as well as where the corn will come out.

I would also like to put a Herb Spiral in on the front yard as it will be like a kitchen garden with easy access to the house.

Wish me luck!
