How the bed is laid out

Carrots in low rows, leeks as tall vertical accents, and petunias as ground cover in between.

A favourite trio where every plant has a job: the carrot works underground, the leek stands guard against the carrot fly, and the petunia covers the soil and looks after the looks.

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.
