Last year I created this bed and grew tomatoes and a couple different kinds of salad greens. When some of the plants started to bolt, I let them go, because the blooms look nice and attract pollinators. I had other priorities in the garden, so when the plants were spent, I didn't pay much attention to them.
I'm really grateful I let them go to seed! From a few of last year's plants, I now have a groundcover of arugula and lettuce, and it's so great to have a volunteer crop starting in the garden without putting in any effort or money.
