Gardening And When Are Perennials Perennial
I haven’t given you an update on the lovage, French sorrel, good king henry and other new perennial additions to the Dear Wonderful Hubby’s and my garden because…
Well… I never know if a perennial has truly taken, becoming perennial until it has survived a Canadian Winter.
Just about any plant, including annuals, do well during a Canadian Summer. It is the Winter that is the true test if a perennial has taken or not.
So yes, the new perennials look like they are doing well. (knock on wood) But I’ll only know if they are truly doing well once Spring 2027 hits.

Gardening – Lovage – A Possible New Perennial
Every year, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I strive to add one perennial to our gardens.
Last year, it was mint (in containers that we overwinter outside).
This year, it is lovage.
This is a new-to-me herb.
It supposedly tastes like celery, which intrigues me as we use a lot of celery in soups and celery can be challenging to find and expensive to buy in our portion of the universe.
It is also supposedly okay with the cold, is rodent resistant (hopefully this includes squirrels), and once established, it doesn’t require a lot of water or care.
All these things appealed to me. I’m SUCH a lazy gardener. (grins)
Have you ever grown lovage?
