Today, the rain has dispelled and the sun is seeking its way through the remaining clouds; thus I am preparing to plant out some of the seedlings, beginning with making a small, rough sketch of the vegetable patch and the raised beds. Along the side of the drainage gutter there is a plant growing which reappears every spring and spreads voraciously throughout the summer. I am sure this is a perennial planted there by the previous owner of the house, but what is it; can anyone identify it from this picture? Please comment with suggestions, then maybe I can track it down. Every summer I have tended to cut this down as a weed, but now that flowers are featuring in the midst of the vegetable sector design as well as vegetables, it seems like a good idea to keep it growing, if it is not a weed. Then again a weed is simply a plant and a flower by another name with the conferred status of cast-off or unwanted pariah.
