I've had a lovage herb plant for the past 3 years and besides chopping
some leaves into a green salad, I haven't done much with it.

Last week I put a few chopped leaves and stalks in homemade chicken soup.
Yum!

Does anyone have a favorite recipe for using more of it?

Add it to dips made with sour cream or cream cheese.

I thought lovage was where you buried your head between a womans
breasts and shook your head back and forth while making a
blubbering noise?

Interesting. This says that a lot of celery seed sold is actually Lovage
seed. I don't have this plant in my herb garden but I have whole celery
seed in the spice cabinet. Might be worth planting.

How fast does it grow?

I installed a perennial plant in April of 2006. It was 8" tall, but reached
3 feet by June. I hacked it to the ground, and it was back to 3 feet in a
month. This year, it reached 6 feet. It's a beautiful plant just for its
stalks & leaves, but because of its size, it needs to be used behind smaller
plants. Mine's gonna be moved.

That's cool if it's a perennial. Thanks!

Recently, I found two peanuts, in their shells, laying in my driveway.
I kicked them off the driveway, when I went to get the newspaper. The
peanuts are growing in my lawn! I had no idea they were that easy to
grow. I also have no idea where the peanuts came from.

What were we talking about?

Oh yeah, celery seeds posing as lovage. I may plant some celery seeds,
and see if they are as easy as growing peanuts.

Probably via somebody's feeder and a local squirrel!
I used to grow peanuts for the botany lab in college.
They are rather fun, especially in a hanging planter.

We refer to that as "mammotherapy". It's especially good after
a difficult day at work.

That's my experience, too. Mine currently is in partial shade so it
isn't growing as tall that fast.
