How the bed is laid out

Leek and cornflower mixed in the same rows.

An unexpected harmony discovered by accident: cornflower seeds sown straight into the leek row at transplanting time. The leeks stand guard, the cornflowers bring the bees.

A friendly reminder: every garden plays by its own rules. Zones, soil, weather and a hundred small things decide what works — so this is how I did it and what worked for me, not a promise. Try, learn, adjust, try again.. that's half the fun anyway.
