Default Re: The Veg Plot.

That looks like willowherb Seeker. It’s what most people would regard as a weed, although a weed is only a wildflower in the “wrong” place.

Foxgloves will seed them selves happily all over the place, but you can help by collecting the seed and scattering it where you want them to grow. Don’t forget that they are bi-annual though. Leaves in the first year, flowers in the second.

Other plants which will happily seed themselves about the place, and look great doing so, are Aquilegia (grannies bonnets), evening primrose, and sweet rocket (which also has a great scent especially in the evening).
