Licorice

My licorice is poking up!  Three, maybe four have sprouted.  According to the very optimistic instructions on the seed packet ("germination is poor and difficult"), it's lucky to have any sprouts  at all "hatch".  I want to know if the tiny sprouts taste like licorice, but I'll restrain myself.Licorice is my experiment de année.Then there's the kale:Kale is so vigorous, and fast, and rugged.  I've never started kale indoors, nothing other than direct seeding, but, why not.  I like kale.
