"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf
And once those plants bolt, I pull most of them out of the ground and only keep the healthiest of them for seed.

I planted it one year in our hugelbed and haven't had to plant it since. It didn't just come back in the garden, it's scattered from one end to the other of our back yard in the grass. It is very, very seasonal here, though. Ours is in full bloom right now and I won't expect to see it again after it spreads seed until it comes up next fall. In my climate it grows through the winter. If my mother (who is the person who really loves it) were better about reaching for it when she cooks, I might be willing to try succession planting to extend the harvests further into the warm season.
