    Hi,
    I love this little flower! For us growing organic veggies it not only attracts bees, but planted next to tomatoes deters tomato worm. AND (I had a Mrs Roberts, class of ’76 *winks*) it also helps as a tick repellant too! Love your blog posts! Jacqui

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks for all the info and stuff. Always look forward to a new article. I’ve sown the Art Shades you sent me and they’re looking as lively as a Picasso at the moment!

    Also sowing some green manure in my dormant beds as suggested in Oli’s bit. I’ve found some that can be sown September-November. Looking forward to a green plot this winter!

    Keep warm.
