Week of 1 JuneA leggy herb on 6 June, one thin stem running up out of the frame with its leaves spaced along it, each blade cut into a few coarse uneven lobes so it reads torn rather than toothed and the lowest cut deepest, all of it cool and shadowless in open shade.Week of 6 JulyOne wiry stem on 9 July, thin enough to see straight through it, carrying narrow strap-shaped leaves angled up and brightest yellow-green where the low sun catches the tip — several lower ones torn away, spider silk strung between the shoots.
