This is a plot that I normally use to grow beans and/or squash. With the building of the greenhouse this spring I got a late start with this plot. When I went to turn it under I noticed that many seeds had spouted including; poppies, tomatoes, arugula, sunflowers, mustard, and some weeds and flowers (the bottom image). I decided to let it grow pulling out the noxious weeds such as the grasses. The results are in the top image. The plot was dominated by arugula early followed by mustards and now poppies. The tomatoes are peaking through as well as the sunflowers. I think that it is a good practice to let some things go to seed and self sow. This provides a constant source of wanted weeds in your garden. Some are pleasent to have around such as the poppies and others like mustards, lettuce, and arugula you can eat!
