Ah, I see. I don't know if they are cultivated ‹ I don't think so.
They are elusive to hunt. Until your eyes become accustomed to what
they're seeking, they just disappear into the leaves. :-) Labor
intensive.

Got it! I understand the sticker shock. I buy a lot of my herbs and
spices in bulk at my co-op where a pound of, say, parsley, might be $35.
Well, a pound of dried parsley is probably a couple gallons of it. I
don't need that much. :-)

Treat yourself to a few and see how you like them. :-)
