Every year in our vegetable garden, Foxglove appear. The columns of tubular flowers are delicately spectacular. The bees love them. It takes two years for plant to develop flowers, in the first year just a low broad leaf plant appears. When they pop up, scattered throughout the garden, I always weed around them. They lie under the snow during the winter, waiting for spring in year two, then they generate a three foot (90cm) stem upon which the colorful thimble-shaped flowers appear.
