The Rock of Repose holds back the line of advancing Common Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). This sneaked in under the fence from the Mugwort/Knotweed jungle beyond, but you can find it everywhere in the city as it advances to cover the globe. I’ll say one thing for it: fresh (and uprooted) and dried out (in winter), it does smell good.

I never thought of mugwort having a nice odor until I was kneeling in some today while I was trying to take a picture of something else. But you’re right – it really smelled good.

In winter, dried, it’s very sachet-like.

Another way to get people to use/ weed it!
