At my house we have a voracious appetite for herbs. I will gladly accept seeds or seedlings from someone in the Guelph area. At my house we have a voracious appetite for herbs.

I was just given a seedling and will keep it well watered. Anita, good to know the time limits since we're in the same zone. I love the idea of using the roots in ice cream! Good to know, Janice.

While it thrives and I have had to dig out a ba-zillion seedlings, it matures early here in Elora so it's best before July. I love chewing on the green seed pods which will be bursting out in mid June.. At Sooke Harbour House, the chefs use the root to flavour ice cream! DELISH! Anyone want some of this year's seeds? Will be happy to share. Toss them about with wild abandon and you'll have plants next spring. Like Janice I started mine from seed years ago.

I grew mine from seed about 10 years ago, and it is quite happy in its current location, so long as it gets adequate water. While I use the leaves (cooked with fruit + with eggs is good), it also serves a decorative purpose, so I usually snap off the flowers to encourage the leafy growth all summer long -- no woody growth on mine!
