What crops do you like to rotate? Let us know below!
I live near Lake Superior in NW Wisconsin. I rotate tomatoes, cucumbers, and all members of the cabbage family. This past year, I got my tomato plants in very late so put them in pots. I had to move a very large plant out of the sun for most of the day. I put the other 2 pots in a wagon so I could move them into the shade during the intense summer heat too. All of the tomatoes did relatively well.
