Urban vegetation

I was amazed while walking down boulevard Saint Marcel to see camomile sprouting at the base of the trees. Last year I noticed it too. I wouldn't suggest making any tea with it unless you like the smell of dog pee.

Even more surprising was to find a patch of wild strawberries in flower beds. Who would have planted these? Does someone actually eat them? The Pariseans are crazy about strawberries, they buy them by the kilos at the markets in May.

Wild strawberries are SO incredibly intense. Yum!!

We have camomile growing in our driveway...I never thought of making tea with it. I must try it sometime. I wonder if I'm supposed to dry it first, or steep it as is?
