Comments:
Delicious in salads and with the egg dishes that
Djubaya makes so well.
We love having a wide variety of umbels on the property as a natural pest control.
Umbeliferous flowers attract small wasps (as pollinators) which lay their eggs
on the larva of fruit 'pest', so that they can eat them when they hatch. For
us this means...less bigs eating our fruit! And we don't have to use noxious
substances, just have more flowers!
