The agricultural cycle is the set of steps we follow to grow food — from preparing the soil to harvesting — always in tune with the seasons and nature’s rhythms.  

At the heart of this process is crop planning, which helps us think ahead about what we want to grow, when, and how. It’s not just about choosing your favorite vegetables — it’s about organizing a diverse and healthy system.  

Good planning, especially for vegetables, means:  
✅ Growing a mix of leafy, root, and fruit crops  
✅ Planting winter green manure (like grasses or legumes) to nourish and protect the soil  
✅ Adding flowers and aromatic herbs that attract helpful insects  
✅ Using natural fertilizers like manure or compost  

A well-planned vegetable garden or farm doesn’t just produce food — it supports a stronger, healthier ecosystem.
