Love the stuff, but it's hardly ever available around here. So I want to grow my own. But haven't a clue as to where to find seeds or plugs, or what time of year to plant it.

Anyone got answers?

I grew it one year from seed in a container. Seed was just some I found in a grocery store that year. Wasn't as successful as I'd hoped, but I think I made a bad container choice--too small.

Interesting site, Chef Wade. Although I disagree with their contention that drying herbs at home is difficult. Not when thousands of people do it sucessfully each year.

Do you mean chervil?   If so, and I think that is what you mean, it is sold in most seed catalogs.  I am in Iowa and it's an annual here.  However if you let some go to seed and let if fall, you will have baby's the following year.  Anyway I do.  I rarely have to replant it

I never tried growing chervil--it is a rather bland herb though very pretty on top of soups and salads. English folks like it--their taste generally prefers not-too-aggressive herbs and spices. It is a cool-weather herb and I would rather have my garden space reserved for arugula, cilantro and herbs like this. Now, these are aggressive!
