Lovage

One of the most remarkable plants in the garden, this comes up regularly (and is a prolific self seeder if you're that way inclined)

From bare earth to six foot spires of flowerheads in two months is a pretty impressive growth rate. If you cut it back when it looks abit tatty in the middle of summer you get a whole lot of new growth.

It's not a common herb (probably because it's very definitely not a windowsill plant) but it's good to use in cooking.

There must be something it likes here as it's mate in the back garden doesn't do nearly as well.

Hectic week here,
Tuesday - drama workshop
Wednesday - incompetent bar staff for the youth group's show
Thursday - slightly less incompetent but still up at the centre till late
