Vegetable companions

The arrogance of ignorant man
Gardeners of sort
Who just deem to imagine
How grow things needs thought
Groups of various edibles
Some operating well
With companion planting
Not something people sell

Asparagus loves Parsley
And basil seems to be
Helpful but for certain
Onions dreadfully
And of course potatoes
Are aliens in fact
Planted with asparagus
Detrimentally react

like most human beings
Some we don’t get along
It’s the same of course
Amongst the flowers
Difference belong
Growing them together
Detrimentally
Can punish us for our arrogance
Interestingly

Take Beans
That some call pulses
Apparently love Beets
Borage, carrots cauliflower
And cabbage somehow greets
Cucumbers and tomatoes
But never should one grow
Chives fennel of garlic
Now we are in the know

Rue and sage are no no’s
With cucumbers it seems.
Parsnips and potatoes
For celery bad dreams
All round it seems
Imagine it
Broad beans hate fennel so
Dill Rosemary and radish
Carrots will for close
On having them around about
Just shows you other plants
Have the power to upset
And it’s not all down to chance
