A picture of a pretty poppy growing almost alone. The other Shirley poppies are saturated with bees. Next year the poppies will be planted on the periphery of the vegetable garden and along some rows to attract bees. The poppy plant is basically not intrusive and should grow well amongst vegetables, particularly tomatoes.

But they do little harm, and they are easy to remove. Think of all the bees visiting.
