Do you leave the phacelia to go to seed and die off or dig in before it seeds?

[@suzannedavis4338]

Good info! I have green manure trefoil when is best time to sow?

[@AllotmentBook]

I haven’t grown trefoil. From what I’ve read it is hardy, so it should be possible to plant through summer, and will probably need a few weeks to establish before the first frosts.
