Tulipa 'Spring Green' This, and T. Princess Irene are probably (PROBABLY) my favourites....although I won't be HELD to that.
New, baby box leaves. The velvety softness of them, and that wonderful smell of NEW....best part of spring? Quite possibly.
Lovage - starts off all curly and shy, and then it turns proudly into a goose-foot...- my preferred stock seasoning. Delicious raw, or, or as a sauce (see my book), or shredded into natural yoghurt for curry night.
