Help!! Where do I plant my purple sprouting?

A Plot neighbour has very kindly given me some purple sprouting plants that he didn't have room for, but I'm a bit stuck as to where I should put them...

My brassicas are growing in a section of the Plot. Come the autumn I guess I move everthing around (the brussels will finish around the end of the year, etc), BUT, if I am planting brassicas NOW that will harvest in March/April next year, which section do I plant them in now?

Do I plant them in the brassica section as it is THIS year? Or where the brassica section will be for NEXT year?

Yep, I'm new to this!! :D :D Please can anyone help me with where they should go? Thanks :D

I really need to get them planted today.

Hi,
I agree. I quite often put them where I can plant between in the spring or where the crop goes in late, so it is usually,the courgette /squash bed.
I went to a talk once and the speaker said not to get too bothered over crop rotation since it only really applied to large areas and to just use common sense.
