Our Fava Broad Beans need to have the Summer Savory plant , planted in between them to ward off aphids and critters that they are affected by. So, plant the Summer Savory in between the Favas and they will thank you for it.

Here we have planted 3 types of carrots (Yellow Stone, Rainbow Blend and Solar Yellow) under the burlap cloth... the cloth keeps the soil from hardening and crusting allowing the seedlings to germinate more sucessfully in 2-3 weeks.
