Notes

These are in a spot that gets afternoon sun but is shaded in the morning. They seem to be doing well!

Went to seed all over the place in spring 2014 (Octoberish). I let them do what they wanted. I'll cut them back and toss the seed heads down the backyard and see if some more self-seeds down there. If they do, then maybe I'll dig up this patch and use the space for something else.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
