raisingirl no need to move you can restrict day length with simple frame and black weed fabric or you can mount the fabric on cloche. the basic technique is so simple even someone in UK could do it. this technique was published in a USA in "organic gardening magazine" several years ago.
Repeated anti-UK insults on a UK based forum … either @war garden 572 has no manners at all, or is a WUM deliberately attempting to provoke argument. Perhaps he/she would like to clarify which.

Going back to the OP, it's not really relevant whether you call it rotation, successive, interplanting or catch crops. You can plant more than one crop in the ground or compost in a pot in a season, but it helps if you take a little time to understand what impact different crops have on the planting medium (soil or compost) so that you can either respect it or correct it for the next one. That reduces wastage and losses from planting crops in conditions they won't do well in and minimises your risk of introducing diseases, fungal infections, etc that can wipe out a whole crop.
Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon

I grow my beans in a long narrow bed, in the front of them I grow something that will produce after the beans have gone, usually leeks one year, parsnips the next.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
How an American has the nerve to be rude about Britain, I don't know. We might be in a mess, but USA, the richest country in the world, with the highest levels of inequality.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
not rude at all . the uk has been using shade to restrict day length in gardens for over 150 years. guess you all forgot, that was one of benefits of walled kitchen gardens. you all have forgotten you own historic garden techniques.

The WUM is a PITA, are they ever ‘classy’ @Fairygirl?
