Cukes done. One batch to pickle; Six plants = 23 qts. Tomatoes (Beefsteak, Brandywine Red, Roma and Indigo) doing great. Bell peppers starting to mature. Green beans slowing down. Saw new eggplants from a seedling growth. Asparagus is a surprise; but won’t get anything to eat for 2 more years.
Squash and zucchini = third year of ZERO. Tried feeding/no feeding, old garden/new garden, top soil/no top soil, weed barrier/no weed barrier - still zero. Oh well, good thing it’s not a staple.
Planted 6 broccoli 2 weeks back for a fall crop. They are doing well. Also planted 6 leeks. I’m really hoping they do well. Had never tasted one until 4 years ago in Spain. Wonderful! I’m already making my list of things to do in fall, winter and spring. Would be interested in knowing what others think of not rotating crops (assuming good dose of nutrients).
Crop rotation is a good idea :
to minimize bug infestation
to minimize plant diseases
to allow the soil to recover from nutrient deficiencies from previous harvest
using cover crops to redistribute nutrients, and allow the soil and microbes to "rest".

From all my reading, I would say rotate. Some of the pests will reproduce in the soil, so they will be waiting for the new crop. I don’t use pesticides, so rotation is very important to me for that reason. YMMV
