I've always put a few flowers into the vegetable garden, mostly for
interest but also for possible insect-repellant properties. In the past
I used annuals, reseeding every year, but last year a neighbor gave
me something that I think is Gaillardia--Indian Blanket? It's daisy-
like with two-toned flowers in shades of red and yellow. It came
back this year, which is good; it wants to take over my small vege-
table garden, which is not so good--looks like I'll have to pull it all
up to control it.
Does anybody have favorite, easy-to-grow AND easily-controlled
perennials for the vegetable garden?
Thanks,
