Iâm on a mission to be ruthless with the flowers, plants and weeds that self-sow all over the place in the garden.
Of course, I say that every year, and my ruthlessness and willingness to spend hours every Saturday pulling unwanted plants lasts only until it reaches 95 degrees or I find something more fun to do.
This is why walking onions, carrots, sunflowers, borage, love-in-a-mist, salad burnet, columbine, bindweed, dandelions and lambs quarters (along with various weeds that I donât know by name) are the happiest plants in my yard.
Theyâre so happy that they grow and flower all summer long, creating more seeds for the next year. ....
