Name: Mone Chicago between O'Hare & Lake (Zone 6a)
Most of mine act as an anual, though. But they self seed prolifically, so I always have them in my garden. I like to see them pop up where there was none before.
I enjoy the smell too, but not the way they reseed. Some of mine live 2-3 years but with the reseeded ones, there are always some around even if I don't want them.
I almost lost these this year. Typically they come back in the same spot plus reseed elsewhere, but this year I only have a few random plants. Hopefully those will reseed, and perhaps I' ll try to save some seed just in case.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
