Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Maybe Gary knows, he grows a lot of herbs. I have never even heard of it, I've never seen it for sale either at Whole Foods.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 Now I want to try lovage, just because I know nothing about it. Most people in other states don't use epazote. It grows like a weed in my parents backyard and we put it in beans. Helps cut down on the gas problem. Kenia Quote
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Posted June 3, 2006 There was a wonderful play on Broadway (more years ago than I'd like to remember) called Lettice & Lovage, both names of the leading women characters. Naturally, it was allegorical, but afterwards I tried to grow lovage in my herb garden. I had limited success, because my garden feeds too many non-human critters. Anyway, it's closest comparison is to celery, but lovage is woodier. Donnalilacflower <thelilacflower Saturday, June 3, 2006 7:55:50 AM what is lovage ??? Question For GARY Maybe Gary knows, he grows a lot of herbs. I have never even heard of it, I've never seen it for sale either at Whole Foods. Donna Quote
