it should entail.
" good planning is needed for a vegetable garden"
what is good planning in a vegetable garden?
I saw the phase in newspaper article headline
from 1950's. lets just say I found accompanying
article did not meet the standard the headline
suggested lets hear what the phase should really
mean, I look forward to your responses.

Seriously, that's an ambiguous question. Good planning is not growing something we wouldn't eat or it could mean we need to rotate crops or not growing something that won't thrive in the area we live.
What is your interpretation of the question?
as for the best response so far i got on another message board for posing
the same question.
the reason I ask the question I am writing a book called:
given some of the advice see online and in hard copy makes me wonder if people giving advice are just repeating misunderstood advice and info.
With regard to your question, veg growing is a personal thing, all our needs are different and until we decide what we want to grow then we can't plan.
I hope your planned book goes well and also hope that you let us know the progress you make with it.
and have completed 300 pages of them.
Good luck with the book. What’s the title and who’s the publisher?
but the title is
"Advanced Vegetable Garden Planning :Succession planting, interval planting
companion planting, etc. "
it will not be vanity or philosophy gardening book. there will not be any fluff or filler in
the book. the book will be the vegetable garden equivalent of
"Handbook of Chemistry and Physics and that book is over 1600 pages
Assess your soil, take note of the climate - heat, frosts, rainfall, sunlight levels - and the amount of time you have each week to maintain it then acquire seeds/plug plants/tubers/cuttings etc according to what suits the above and also according to what you like to eat and what is expensive to buy in shops. Get a crop rotation planner and follow it. Keep a 3 bay compost heap for soil improvement.
actually it is not common sense it takes a lot reading and real world experience.
there is also a lot of contradictory info.
