Lovage is part of the celery and parsley family but tastes most similar to celery so it can be used as an effective substitute.

Its young leaves can be used like spinach and should be harvested regularly to promote new growth.

Lovage seeds should be sown indoors in trays or modules from mid winter. Pot on when the seedlings are large enough to handle and plant out well rooted plants from late spring to early summer. The plants should be spaced 60cm apart. Alternatively direct sow the seeds in spring to early summer or in the autumn.
