Been wondering about this myself for if and when we get enough rain to moisten the soil while it's still warm enough for seeds to germinate. As ever, I checked the RHS site and it came up with this advice - https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=390
I'm thinking of marigolds for the potager but also more ammi as the one I was given last year seeded itself again this year and has been brilliant in a bed on the shadier north side of our ruin. I'd also like to try nigella and annual cornflowers in a cut flower bed.
First tho, I have to wait for OH to clear weeds and old potatoes and the toms when they go over.

There's some interesting ones on the list. The area was covered in nigella this year so I've been thinning it out. I like the idea of cornflowers and marigolds together.
The marigolds would be for veggie companion planting for me but yes, they'd work with cornflowers. I never got nigella to grow in Belgium so am looking forward to trying it here and hope it likes it better.
