Mallow! It is actually a stomach tonic, but only if you need one. For me it is a deep rooted bother that turns up in anywhere I have cultivated once and not again. That is it finds a happy home around perennials, along the edges of the greenhouses, by water faucets, etc. The roots go to the center of the earth I think. It has geranium looking leaves and a sprawling nature. It knows I can't always get it out. When I chop it off, it tells me "I vill be bock" much like Arnold Schwarzenegger would say.
Your daughter, Ada, sent me the link to your blog. She is married to my cousin, Steven's son. She was hoping I was coming to the Carter family reunion this year as she could tell from my Facebook posts that I am also a gardener. Unfortunately I am not able to come this year, wish I could. I would love to meet you and share gardening stories. I live in Chelsea, Michigan, retired in 2009 and have been creating a new vegetable garden this year. Love to communicate with you. Susan
