You are holding a full, open pack of JuicyFruit gum. You take one stick out, replace it with a stick of Wrigley's Spearmint gum. You close your eyes, put the pack up to your nose, and inhale deeply. Mmmmm... You open your eyes to a sunny yellow bulb with flimsy white petals dancing around it. It's a bright, lemony, bubblegum-fruity, and slightly minty aroma... lively, and yet calming. Chamomile. From my garden, a mix of vegetables, fruit, and herbs often feed my fermentation projects. Over the years I've let certain beneficial gypsy volunteer plants "win," like yarrow, and our star of the day - Chamomile. When I first constructed the garden, the beds, the paths, I loved the clean look, but I'm not running a public garden. I want plants for my toddler to torture and explore, without triggering deep breathing exercises. Chamomile is the perfect self-reseeding perennial that will fight back when you harvest.
