Thanks everyone. I have it in my vegetable garden surrounded by my herbs like Oregano, Chives, Leeks, Parsley, & Thai Basil.
Last winter I covered it with a square 30 gallon Trash can. There was a 6" gap between the bottom lip of the trash can and the ground because the branches were too tall for me to allow the can to go all the way down. I was sloppy with it and should have done a better job. Even so it's doing OK. It's my favorite variety so far.
You're right, I should have left it on for a few days. We got 2" of rain this morning and I got a little scared. When I got home from work there were a few ants hovering around the eye and I thought "What the heck, I'm eatin it!"
