Lovage is a very hardy perennial herb once established–its taste is somewhat similar to celery, though it’s a little spicier. Even a bit licorice-like. It’s a great addition to salads, soups. It is good for the complexion and digestion. An old-fashioned herb. I believe its name is a corruption of “love-ache.” It can grow quite tall. My neighbor has a mammoth one that grows over my head, which is where I got my stash and where I fell in love with it last Summer. I have been painstakingly starting seeds, and several of them have sprouted. Stay tuned later in the season for a post on lovage!
And Nicole, “Spring’s November”!! How perfect!!

What a lovely meal! And I adore your patio : )
I enjoyed this window into April in your world, Maria. I never minded April’s fickleness myself – I think of it as Spring’s November.
