Hello, everyone.
This spring--yes, we're almost in spring now as our average last frost date is coming up in a few days--we have unidentified plants popping up. They popped up last year, too, and I don't know whether to call them allowable as their tiny flowers must be feeding the little flower flies, or weeds. They're really small even when they're as big as they apparently get.
That little thing that resembles parsley or cilantro is it. It's much smaller than a cilantro seedling. The leaves get more divided as the plant gets older, and it has very tiny white flowers. The flowers are not in the umbel form we see on parsley, cilantro, and fennel. It's especially likely to sprout in the clay that has been turned into my herb garden. But it seems content to sprout in potting soil, as here, too. (This is a pot of basil.)
The herb garden last year. The Italian oregano has grown a lot, with graceful stems leaning over the stones, and even a stray branch or runner at the base of the stone now. The assorted basils have mostly died out, not having been pruned, and more rosemary and a Greek oregano have been added. The bare bit by the barbecue has acquired some rain lily seedlings. Who says I can't have flowers with my herbs?
