Step 1
Keep different crops arranged by height. Tall crops will cause shading problems if kept near shorter crops.
-
Step 2
Pay attention to the spacing between crops as you arrange them. Plan appropriately depending on if you plan to care for them by hand, or by other means (like a tractor).
-
Step 3
Be careful with the amount of space surrounding different crops. Some things, such as pumpkins and cucumbers will spread out as they grow. Not only can this cause problems with nearby crops, you also don't want to worry about anything growing into the neighbours yard. Your best bet is to put them in a corner, giving them plenty of space, or to even start a seperate small garden for these crops if you have the space.

Step 4
Remember, different climates will affect what vegetables and fruits can be planted, which ones will be able to thrive, and even which months they should be plated. Do research that's specific for your region.
-
Step 5
Another major factor is the type of soil you have, doing a test on your soil will also decide what can be planted and if it will be able to thrive.
