Garden rotation question

[sportsman94]

Is crop rotation as important in the fall as it is with spring/summer crops? Talking the Cole crops mostly. I planted a good portion of the garden in Cole crops last fall, then planted our spring/summer stuff, then planted cover crops and ran the chicken tractor through the cover crop. The soil was disked during each turnover period.

Would I be ok to plant Cole crops again or do I need to wait a year before putting them back in the same general areas? I can use the other half that didn’t have them, but it’s currently tied up in okra, sweet potatoes, and peppers.

You will hear all kinds of different opinions on this but i say, for the most part, for most things, you are ok to replant then in the same spot. Really if you look at it like this the summer crop was the crop rotation. I would say you are fine.

That was more or less my thoughts. I figured the turning of the soil and growing of different crops would break any pest cycles developing that could cause issues. I just know a lot of y’all on this forum are way smarter than me

Cole crops I wouldn't be as worried about as your summer stuff like tomatoes and peppers.
