{"product_id":"lovage","title":"Lovage","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn old-time herb though out history, growing in English gardens for hundreds of years. All parts are used seeds, leaves and even roots. Lovage is a handsome plant that can grow to 6 feet with its leaves resembling those of celery. The flavor is similar to, but stronger than, that of celery. Use leaves sparingly to flavor soups. Eat young leaves in salad. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eElisabeth a customer would like to share how her family, and others of Bulgarian heritage, use the herb Lovage - She says \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBulgarians rarely use it this way... ( using in soups and salads) we pick \u0026amp; dry the leaves (which dry beautifully and quickly just on paper protected from the sun) and crumble onto meat that has a strong flavor like salmon or lamb. It's truly a game changer and even picky eaters who don't like salmon\/lamb will be happily surprised. If you incorporate this usage into your description I bet you'll gain customers and excitement for this forgotten and ancient herb\"   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e100 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(50, 113, 56);\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLevisticum officinale\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerennial, zones 4-9\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 65-70ºF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  ¼” deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Provide 65-70ºF soil temperature for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003egermination.
