cilantro, chervil is strictly a cool-season annual; crops can be grown in spring and again in fall. In mild-winter climates it can be grown throughout the winter. Sow in a large pot or directly in the ground in spring or late summer
When to start: Sow repeatedly in spring, and again in late summer into fall.
Where to plant: Plant in part shade, in fertile soil.
Planting depth: Cover seeds with a dusting of soil.
Care: Provide consistent moisture.
Container growing: Chervil’s delicate beauty lends itself to container growing. Sow seeds in a large
pot—10-inch or larger diameter. Use the same pot for a hot-weather plant, such as a pepper, eggplant, or annual flowers.
Harvesting: When the plant is about 6 inches high, cut leaves as you need them.
Hint: Chervil imparts a subtle anise flavor. Its flowers are lovely, and attract beneficial insects.
Since I missed growing some things early in the spring, I will add this to my fall planting schedule. I so appreciate all these great tips!
ReplyDeleteChervil isn't a herb that has called to me, so interesting to learn a bit more about it.
