I hope they'll give me iPad when I'm in the nursing home so I can look back on my gardening. https://thethreehairsgarden.wordpress.com

Please help me identify this plant. It will have very small white flowers soon, and flower freely until the first frosts. This one has survived since last year. Seeds itself very freely in small cracks among patio slabs. Distasteful odour from touching the leaves.

That looks like it might be #feverfew Pat. It self-seeds all over my garden too, I love it!

@awomanonabike Many thanks once again Jacqueline. Yes I googled feverfew and images are a match. I see it noted as being invasive... But like you, I like it and will leave it be.

It’s very easy to pull out if you have too much or it’s in the wrong place, so I’d say it was a keeper 👍😂

Agree completely. Next issue here is to figure out how to add it to my garden without having to post all over again. The joys of digital!

I love it in a vase! Cutting it only encourages more flowers. @awomanonabike @patburke58

Do you know, I don’t think I’ve ever cut it. I will now! Thanks for the suggestion Katie @brightcolours

@brightcolours yes it would look good in vase but is there not a slightly pungent scent?

Yes, Pat the foliage is “pungent”. But it doesn’t bother me. @patburke58

That’s because you’ve plenty of other flowers to choose from in your lovely garden!!

I did do vases few years ago, Katie. Lovely way to bring the garden indoors. Rarely do it these days.
