Last week I talked with a friend that wears green clothes and is a gardener.
He told me about 'companion planting' and how different crops are planted together because they help each other grow better.
If you plant carrots and leeks together they protect each other against a number of pests. Leeks repelo carrot fly and carrots repel onion and leek moth.
This means the nasty insects stay away and the carrots and leeks both grow big and strong and lovely.
Clever gardeners.
We do life better when we grow together.
