It is in the daisy family (Asteraceae) fer sure. No reason it couldn’t be an herb too.
I don’t know but it does have the same flower and leaf structure as the Feverfew pic in the wikipedia entry, so I say a good bet it is.

my broccoli has bolted so i cut of the main head, this happens when the soil is too warm, even though we are not having a summer.. hopefully the side shoots will grow, brocoli is a cold weather plant though...

i sowed garden peas underneath the rose bush this way they can climb up the stems

strawberry plants

very nice show! Makes me want to grow some stuff's too...

~looks around, pulls curtains to the side~

Maybe after the summer I will start a this and that thing... Leme ask, can I just use the seed from my store bought produce to start my garden? Can I plant in the summer, or is there a certain time to plant the seeds?

sorry, this is all new to me... Apparently its noting like having a timer

Leme ask, can I just use the seed from my store bought produce to start my garden?

Sure, from my compost which I amend the garden with, I frequently have store tomato and bell pepper pop up. I got a “volunteer” pepper going now, we’ll see what is exactly later.

Be sure to use ripe fruit, ie red, yellow or orange pepper as opposed to just green ones.
Melons, cukes squashes all are good too, even dried beans will work.

Also note many libraries have a seed bank where you get free seeds, Along with dudes such as myself, garden centers sometimes will also donate last years seed stock.

or is there a certain time to plant the seeds?

Spring. Spring is seed starting time. Natch your local climate dictates yer growing season. On the coast I could go ten months out of the year, plant whenever … now … 4 or 5 months. and lovin it!

Snow peas or just about done with more cantaloupes growing in to replace 'em. Cucumbers and hot chilies are just comin in. The Rocoto is flowering but no fruit yet.
Eating plenty of tomatoes, beans, summer squashes and sweet chilies.

A couple days of harvest.
