    Nice looking peaches!

    Can anyone identify this plant for me? I believe it was something grown on purpose years ago and grows again year after year. I broke open a stalk and it smelled a bit like horseradish.



    Didn't realize the picture was out of focus and the plant is 100 miles away so we'll have to make due with this. Here is the base when broken off close to the ground.

    Looks like horseradish, smells like horseradish...

    Which herb is this? You'd think since it is in our garden that we'd know, but we don't. Doesn't quite look like pictures of thyme, and doesn't quite look like pictures of rosemary. Is it Dill maybe?

    I think it may be dill. Dill has that fronding thing that goes on with its leaves. Rosemary looks like a little fir tree and has a very distinctive aroma. Take a little of the leaves between your fingers and mash it- does it smell like dill?

    Fresh herbs don't pack the same punch that dried herbs do, which is why you have to use ore of them.

    I googled the image for dill plant, and it doesn't really look like one. I don't know what you've been eating.

    I grabbed a bunch and smashed it up and it think it Might have tasted like dill, but I realized I've never eaten dried dill either. We're sure it's not a weed because it's planted strategically. Oh well, at least it's growing well. My wife got jealous that I bought all the plants and set everything up, so she went and bought a bunch of seeds from the dollar store and planted them all, in August. She knew it was late, but she didn't care. This was one of this seeds. Surprisingly. Perry much everything she planted is growing very well. Most of it won't have time to do anything, but the herbs and lettuce have worked out well.
