Chervil is a mainstay in French cooking and one of the classic French seasoning blend known as 'fines herbes' along with parsley, chives, and tarragon. However, if you enjoy doing a lot of French cooking, you may struggle to find chervil in grocery stores – so why not grow your own?
The good news is that chervil is a fast-growing, simple herb to grow at home in beds or containers. You can be harvesting the mild-flavored foliage in as little as eight weeks from sowing the seeds. As long as you sow at the right time, chervil requires little maintenance, and you can enjoy a bounty of sweet leaves throughout the season.
