I asked someone for advice about growing broad beans, as I knew he used to be a farmer and he still grows his own vegetables in someone else's garden. It turns out that he used to grow broad beans by the million for canning by Smedleys.
He has very kindly given me advice about which ones to grow, followed up with a gift of a bag of Aquadulce Claudia broad beans, which can be sown now.
The winter will make them dormant, or whatever the horticultural term is, and then they get going again as soon as the weather warms up. I had to look on the internet as to how to sow them, because I did not know which way up to plant them.
Yes, they are planted on their side. This weekend, I will be planting some of them.
He also explained that marigolds are a good companion plant for carrots, as the marigolds deter carrot fly.

Brought in the logs that I cut this morning.
The wood part of the garden is really atmospheric in this mist; all the golds, reds and acid greens so bright against the murk, and then you get the occasional flurry of falling leaves. And the silence.

Don't they call that sacrificial planting ?

Jein... Löten can also mean soldering. Like in north Germany a cabinet maker is a 'Tischler' but here I'm a 'Schreiner'. The 60 odd year old lifelong metalworker called it 'Schweißen' and that's good for me...

Lovely poem. Very atmospheric.
Almost a Haiku...

Lovely poem
Actually, it was that being in the garden that inspired me to write this:
Breezes still whisper your name
Cool strands caressing the trees
Keeping watch above your grave
Whose leaves fall like memories
This soft rain of broken dreams
Kissed with bright autumn colour
And yet here so very tranquil
Peace like a cloak enfolds me
The gentle touch of your soul
I could drown in the feeling
Of being so close to you
A blessing of remembrance

Isn't that when you bury them in the garden?
I thought it was companion planting.
