I'm back,
Haven't been on here in a while.
Looking for a rotation plan for my vegtables I will be growing I have listed. Or any suggestions on crops to add to my list. Still new to this but think I'm close. I'm keeping fruit crops in pots for now cause my tomatoes need evening shade from to much sun.
I'm open for any suggestions.
Appreciate any feed back.

I've never rotated my crops, but I've read that growing onions in a bed where beans were grown the year before is very beneficial. Makes the onions nice and big.

Thanks for the comment, I've read some people never rotate, some rotate only when they want to and some say you should always rotate every year to limit the build-up of pest. Also wanted to add some cabage with the collard greens, but read you can't grow cabage with collard greens. A lot to take in and organize. Seems like rotating makes it little more complicated.

East Central IL, Was Zone 6, Now...maybe Zone 5
I have seen a video with this done in South Carolina, tomatoes grown on this guy's cement driveway where they get a lot of heat.
You can do this in the south in Zone 7a, which is WHY I ask people to put their general location.
Answers to your question would be different for another person growing closer to me.
So, yeah, if you are using grow bags there is no need to rotate those crops.
IF you grow straight in a garden bed, any plant diseases specific to that crop can proliferate and harm the next year's crop.
Please, however, be sure to Clean your grow bags before using them again, for the same reasons.
