So, here is my plan for my 2026 patch layout. This year I want to grow 4 squash plants, and each plant will be contained in one of the four orange rectangles. The mustard-areas inside the rectangles will be free of mustard after beginning of June, so that the squash plants can use that space as well. The other cover crop areas will then grow another cover crop (tagetes, zinnias, and some other stuff). The long rye strip will be rye for another two weeks, and then there will be three rows of potatos. Last but not least, the rye leftovers inside the orange areas will be shaved off (1 - 2 inches thick) and will be piled up inside the blue rectangles. The blue-framed areas will then be covered with clear plastic for some weeks, they will be the planting sites this year.
