Lovage seedling
Hello,
I planted some lovage seeds over a month ago. I have some seedlings, but unfortunately I don't know if these are weeds. I did not use sterilized soil so the weeds are coming up with the lovage. I was hoping someone would be able to describe what the lovage seedling looks like. Germination from Nichols seeds was _extremely_ poor, but I believe I have 3 or 4 seedlings (out of about 100 seeds). These seedling leaves that I think are lovage are 'star shape', with several points jutting outward...I suppose someone could say they look like "weed". I can recognize most local weed seeds, and these seedlings are the only ones that don't look like a weed. Let me know if there's a pic somewhere of a lovage seedling, thanks very much. Dan |

There's also a picture of mature foliage - it's kind of ferny and delicate-looking: like celery leaves but perhaps more delicate. No, lovage is certainly not more delicate than celery. Those leaves are _huge_. A mature plant can get to 3 m (3 yards) tall, and the leaves themselves can be up to 1 m (1 yard) long.

This I couldn't tell from the picture. It needs quite a bit of room then. Pat |

Pick a tiny piece of the leaf, crush it and smell it. It should smell like
very strong celery. "dstvns" wrote in message ... Hello, I planted some lovage seeds over a month ago. I have some seedlings, but unfortunately I don't know if these are weeds.
