I love planting in January at 67 degrees, and then adding it to my art journal in ink and watercolor! Last year, I was painting snow scenes here, and tonight I was barefoot in the front yard looking at the brilliant stars! I have only grown this plant once and it was in my hydroponic system. It was not vigorous and only produced a few very small flowers. So, I am winter sowing this seed in front of my asparagus, looking for a beautiful show this summer. I have designated a special spot for an apothecary garden, where mint, wild onions, garlic chives and wild mustard grow. I plan to move a few other medicinal herbs here from other spots, too. I've drawn this in ink, washed in watercolor, and finished with coordinating inks in the fountain pens. All are TWSBIs, the workhorses of my fountain pen collection. Painting number 4754 in 4754 days.
