or Mitsuba

anyone grow it? It's a perennial, but the packet says sow at frequent intervals - does that mean that the old leaves have too strong a flavour?

Think I tried some at Jekka's place years ago, but that was years ago

According to my herb & spice book(Herbs & Spices: the cook's reference by Jill Norman), Mitsuba has "little aroma, but a distinctive, mild and restrained, and agreeable taste, showing elements of chervil, angelica, celery, with something of the astringency of sorrel and a hint of clove"
So I think the word "Mild" says it all, probably do not have to worry.
