    How it works

    1. Name your beds the way you call them: "back bed", "by the fence".
    2. Pick a year and a season, then choose what you planted in each bed.
    3. Before you plant, choose next season. A bed turns amber when its family grew there in the last 2 years.
    4. Save your garden file now and then, and print your beds to keep by the door.

    Rotate by family, not by crop

    Rotation guides group vegetables by plant family. This page warns you when a family returns to a bed within 3 years. Pick a crop and its family is filled in for you.
