How the bed is laid out

Potato rows with arugula sown between them.

A bed built around early potatoes (8 plants per 80 cm width), with arugula racing in the gaps and cucumber, parsley and pak choi taking over as the season turned.

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.
