Day 280: I have a confession to make. Despite its status as a "weed," I love common Chicory (Cichorium intybus). I would love to have it in the Barren Wasteland and, if this confession is to be fully honest, I have made at least two (possibly three) unsuccessful attempts to introduce it thereby transplanting roots. It would be lovely growing alongside the bright Deptford Pinks and Rose Campion, a startling contrast amid the Rudbeckias which try so hard to dominate the space. I have never thought to gather seed (too obvious an option?), but it does not seem to transplant well. That fact suggests that it would be unlikely to become problematic if it did become established. I guess I'll just have to keep trying.
