mayweed chamomile (Matricaria discoidea)

Ranked #32,650 in Home & Garden, #591,167 overall

the Weeds in my Garden Series

Another hardy herb/weed that grows in the driveway and the backyard.

I've never gathered it to use in anything, other than to toss it into the chicken pen if I haven't been letting them run free. It would seem likely that it could be harvested to make tea, or any number of other chamomile potions.

Very hardy and doesn't seem in the least to mind being drivin on, or trod upon, it just springs right back, better than ever
