I suspect if you do all the things the gardening books tell you not to
do, your garden will suffer from it. On the other hand if you do most of
them right, and you gaff a few, you may not notice the difference in the
results. I keep planting my crops in the same place because of the Sun.
The sunniest spot goes to the corn, next sunniest to the peppers, next
sunniest to the tomatoes cucumbers, and the melons, then the lettuce and
roots and lastly to the Swiss chard. There is no possibility of rotating
them because of their individual needs.

I did have to move my basil from the lettuce patch because of fulsarium
wilt (or some such) but that is the only real problem I've had with the
terrain. The basil seems much happier in pots of the stairs anyway.

When mid-June rolls around, out go the peas and in go the beans.
