    Lovage Help

    What's happening to my lovely lovage?

    At first I thought it was being attacked by bugs, but at second glance, the tips of quite a few leaves are beginning to turn yellow.

    Thanks in advance.

    In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

    I would plant it in the garden, not in a pot. Its a huge plant when it gets going and I think your's is being starved in its pot. Give it its freedom - it'll thank you for it!!

      Phew!
      That was my initial thought yesterday, as I know it will get much larger and has grown by leaps and bounds in the few months I have had it.
      Glad it is nothing worse.
      One problem...would you know if my chickens will kill it or leave it alone?

          They run when I start swinging it like a baseball bat.

            I don't remember my chooks eating it but they had lots of other stuff to have a go at anyway. Its quite robust so I wouldn't worry!

              I thought the same as veggiechicken - give it some space! The one in my garden is about 80 cm in every direction at the moment.

                ok, I'll give it a go and thanks for the advice, Veggie & Eirish.

                17 chickens VS one lone lovage plant & a baseball bat broom.
                I have been wondering how home grown chickens taste, anyhow.

                  My money's on the lovage.

                  Seriously, when I say the one in my garden, I'm talking about a garden that's been completely neglected for the last few years, including a winter where there was a meter of snow on the ground for a month. And the lovage is not just alive but massive and thriving.
                  March is the new winter.

                    If you're concerned about your chooks eating it -wrap it round with chicken wire until its bigger - or, lovage stuffed chicken may be an interesting dish!
