are you asking what the companion plants are?

you can plant lettuce with carrots.
in the broccoli bed you can plant herbs (dill, sage, rosemary) to help repel cabbage moth.
rhubarb and strawberries are not part of the rotation because they produce for more than one season. normally they go in a separate bed with asparagus.
otherwise the garden is looking more and more impressive – good luck.

i can’t see celery on your list – all cooks use celery.
it grows naturally here – i’m not sure about your area – give it a try.
