Till up a row just for them and watch the bees and butterflies take up house there. And you'll end up with low cost bouquets for most of the summer. You really should attempt to weed them; however it was not possible for us this year due to excessive rains. They grew inspite of the grass. How much are the brightly colored flowers bouquets in you produce isle at the store? Between five and fifteen dollars. Now whenever blooming, your only a walk away to the fresh bouquet! Not only is this something beautiful to smile about, your production/harvest in your veggie garden should increase due to all the insect activity drawn in by the flowers. Yepee! Not to mention all the oohs and "hey look at this, Moma" the children send out as they discover each new bloom and different insects they've drawn in. Our little hodge-podge rows of wildflowers and sunflowers bring in tons of butterflies and bees. What a treat to share freshly picked flowers to put on the table! You have to admit reading about and actually experiencing nature are way different. While both are effective, experiencing is way cooler! Get outside and "live" with your little ones while the wonder is in them and enjoy your homegrown flower patch together.
