Haha, Greene! This is true. Tell your husband that I like his suggestions; although my car doesn't come close to looking like a white pickup truck, so I lose out there. I don't know if I own khaki pants anymore and I definitely don't have a green golf shirt. Hmm...But a clipboard and a lab coat I can do!
I've read that chicory is invasive in some places, which it might very well be here (and, perhaps, should be a reason I don't plant it), but I have to look into it more. I wonder when it seeds, I could always just go harvest seeds and I doubt anyone would care that I took seeds off of one of the billions of chicory plants...
