Why not plant them in an entirely different garden next year? Think of it as a super-rotation. ;-) 2009-10-06T01:03:12Z false 12935 2740 2009-10-06T01:03:12Z 5362 Not a possibility. Not planting them at all is the only other option. 2009-10-06T02:51:00Z false 12936 2740 2009-10-06T02:51:00Z 1237 I vote for sun, with a 2-year rotation. Especially since you do so much interplanting in your garden beds, I don't think that you'd get enough additional benefit from adding a 3rd year to your rotation to balance out the guaranteed loss of productivity from shading sun-loving crops. If you're thinking in terms of shielding next year's tomatoes from remnants of this year's blight, I've read that blight only tends to overwinter when you have viable potatoes carrying blight in the ground or if you unsuccessfully try to cold-compost blighted tomato plants and then spread it on your tomato bed. 2009-10-06T03:20:37Z false 12937 2740 2009-10-06T03:20:37Z 2243 I vote for sun too, but you probably already know that. :) Diseases are likely to be carried on your tools and hands, so rotation is only of limited use in a small garden anyway. 2009-10-06T05:49:16Z false 12939 2740 2009-10-06T05:49:16Z 1713 I'm on the side of sun. Including the reasons mentioned above, you also replaced and added a lot of soil this year. Blight or other diseases are more likely to transfer through incomplete compost or tools. 2009-10-06T14:10:33Z false 12952 2740 2009-10-06T14:10:33Z 3716
