Somebody on here mentioned Brandy Carr Nurseries the other day. That was the first time I realised there was such a thing in the UK.

It was zeed, under Rhubarb what sort. Zeed even mentioned licorice! Sorry to snaffle your find zeed.

You can grow it yourself from seed, as I did this year. Sadly, the slugs like it!

Where did you get the seed?

How long before you get a crop off it?

Where did you get the seed?

Nicky's Nursery sell seeds.  I hear they need scarified, soaked etc, but I'm still tempted.

That's just the problem. I feel a licorice plant coming on. No space! Help! I didn't even know about them until a short while ago!!

I'm assuming it's herbaceous Manics and it will "be back"....  ???

I shall get some seeds from Nickys but it says it takes 3-4 years for a crop.  I takes longer than asparagus.  But is cheap enough to give it a try.

Oh dear I'm a bit bored got back to looking at seed catologues.  I thought I had weened myself off seeds. :P :P
