What is this plant ?

[Anonymous]

I planted this herb (?) last year but now I can't remember what it is - it's growing really well.



It tastes a bit like cerery or something you'd find in a curry, but it's not Coriander which I have also grown this year. Any idea's what it is?

That looks like lovage to me. Be careful, it's a fast grower! Use the young leaves, the older ones are not so nice.

That's it - I knew I'd remember the name as soon as someone said it. It has gone a bit mad but it's around the back of e kitchen where not a lot grows. Nice though - going to research Lovage recipes now.

My mum used to drink brandy with lovage cordial

I like to use it in veggie soups - gives a lot of flavour
