Angelica Archangelica

I harvested this yesterday. Only a handful of plants had enough roots to make it worth keeping them - perhaps because of last year's drought. But I noticed as I was washing the earth off them in a bowl of water that they exuded oil. And they've a wonderful smell. Today I'm going to chop them up, dry the bits in the oven, and keep them for tea.

I'm leaving a half dozen in the ground - apparently, they're perennial if you stop them setting seed.

Speaking of drought, we're filling loads of barrels with water now, whilst the rain's plentiful.
