Self-seeders - Veggie - 12-05-2021
Saw this article - 18 Self seeding Flowers, herbs and veg https://www.ruralsprout.com/self-seeding-plants/?fbclid=IwAR0v38XqBvuwEYjezgQ6I8Ryb3bHak0F0sWe0DehRbXDnpKd7SLiZX2m25U
To save you reading it, they are:-
Morning Glory/Ipomea
Calendula
Field Poppy
Cosmos
Sweet Alyssum
Love in a Mist/Nigella
Giant larkspur
Honeywort/Cerinthe
Angelica
Violets
Parsley
Dill
Arugula/Rocket
Mountain Spinach Atriplex hortensis
Carrot
Lettuce
Coriander
Kale
Don't know about your experiences but some of those haven't seeded for me and there are a few that I've never grown!
Some have been very successful - Calendula, Alyssum, Nigella, Cerinthe (though think its gone now), violets, Parsley, Rocket, lettuce (in GH) Kale.
I'm minded to grow all of these and see how well they do - I like them all and would be happy to have them running riot here.

That’s really interesting. Surprised nasturtium isn’t on the list. I’ve only had success with nasturtium & calendula. To be fair to the plants not many get the chance to flower/ set seed. In the case of Cosmos it very rarely gets the chance to flower. Thanks to the voles
. But I keep trying.Just had a look at the link. I like the look of mountain spinach. That’s very pretty. I see some seed research coming on

I have Primroses andCyclamen Neapolitan self seeding to weed proportions, good ground cover though.
RE: Self-seeders - toomanytommytoes - 13-05-2021
Alyssum, aquilegia, poppies, nasturtiums, yarrow and tansy all self seed like mad in our garden. Nigella occasionally.
RE: Self-seeders - PyreneesPlot - 13-05-2021
Good for me are - aqualegia, nigella, dill, blue honeywort, primroses, fennel, morning glory, belle de jour, marigolds, nasturtium, cosmos, gaura and geranium sanguineum. The first two are particularly invasive/loved in all the gravelly patches and gaura pops up everywhere!
RE: Self-seeders - JJB - 13-05-2021
Poppies, cowslips and foxgloves are cropping up everywhere at the moment and evening primrose does too occasionally, always in the wrong place.
RE: Self-seeders - Roitelet - 13-05-2021
I forgot, Californian poppies.

Sorry! They are dwarf, non-climbing (obviously) members of the morning glory clan. The flowers are normally finished by noon. I'll dig out some photos next time I have my laptop on.
