I have grown vegetables and herbs for many years, it not a hard work nor
do you need much knowledge. I have never used chemicals and hardly
any fertilizer. Just use your common sense.
Also I never kept track of what I put where.
Just walk through your garden and if you see an empty spot, put some
onions there and on another empty spot beans or whatever you like.
Don't expect it to grow as big as the vegetables in the store but as
Mitchel mentioned the taste is superior.
A good method is growing all kind of different vegetables next to each other.

I have thrown onions random on the ground without putting them into the
soil and even then they grow.
So don't worry about schedules, fertilizing and so on, you will always have
a crop. Onions can stay in the ground for years, you can eat the leaves.
I am convinced that even on a poor ground many veggies and herbs will
grow.
