Same here @pennsif I never really knew much about lovage and like you, may consider a spot in my herb garden next season.
I was actually starting to plan out next year's plot for the garden and expansion.
And I agree with @frugallady about running out of herbs. Happened my first year, now I have a better idea of how much to plant, a second crop and what I can grow indoors, which to dehydrate, which to make into frozen ice cubes for soups, broths, etc.
