    Hi there, I am just starting out in veg gardening, OH and I have constructed a four raised bed potager but now I am getting confused about what to plant in which, we are going to do a four year crop rotation which I understand having read up on it, but I have just started to try and plan what goes where and found that although potatoes are in the same family as tomatoes I can't plant them together and the same with carrot and parsnips???

    The plants we have grown in the greenhouse so far are as follows:

    Peas
    Broad Beans
    Runner Beans
    Tomatoes
    Aubergine
    romanesco broccoli
    Cabbage
    Broccoli
    Asparagus Peas
    Peppers
    Chillies
    Swiss Chard
    Cucumber

    We also are planning to put in:
    potatoes, radish, carrots, parsnips, spring onions and some salad leaves plus some herbs and some marigold and nasturtium

    We have already planted some of the peas and beans in a seperate bed but wanted to put some in as centre pieces in obelisks in a couple of the beds

    HELP!!!
