avoid evening primrose - they self-seed and pretty invasive.

jesus, horrible accent, where are you from?

hey Huw, are there any insects that attach and destroy squash vine horror moth?

great vid thanks. I've a greenhouse full of flowering veg that need pollinating! Cheers.

Great video! Incorporating more flowers into the vegetable garden is something I want to do. Your flowers look great!

Thanks for sharing your valuable information. What do you think of nettles and merigolds for the same purpose?.

Well done. Thank you for the link.

Thankyou for the link!! It is very helpful!!

Thank you! Very helpful indeed!!

This is a great reminder video! Many vegetable gardeners forget to plant the "attractors" (flowers) in their gardens. Having the right kind of flowers in and around your garden can substantially increase your success and productivity. Thanks for showing your beautiful flowers.

Nice Job, Very informative!

thank you young man just to say I love your videos I am from Australia. Good job!! Thank you

cool looking flowers and good info

Great message, Huw!

Ok I admit it, I sometimes tune in just for the accent. THERE, I said it.

Runner Beans does the trick for me, pollinators can't resist the ruby red flowers. and best of all, it doesn't stop flowering if you keep cropping the beans.
