I had not heard of this plant, but it sounds like I could use it! I live in Western Colorado, where can I find seeds in this area for growing?

Mine has done well and I use it in my chilis and bean dishes. Mine is "seeding" right now and I am trying to save the seeds to grow outside next spring, or at least in pots. I am told it can be quite invasive in outdoor gardens, but we have so little garden space that I don't think I will even try it except in pots. I fell for this herb while greatly enjoying a Mexican chicken soup in an ethnic restaurant, and I asked what it was. Locally, I can buy the herb only in ethnic Mexican markets, so I have really enjoyed my fresh hydroponic garden variety.

This herb self seeds easily and new plants germinate every spring. Unfortunately I don't have any epazote seeds saved that I can share with you right now, but you can find them listed at <a href="http://www.nicholsgardennursery.com">Nichols Garden Nursery</a>.

Even if you garden in a cold weather region with a short growing season, epazote is a very fast growing herb and much hardier than herbs such as basil and cilantro. Just plant the epazote seeds in the spring after the weather warms and it will grow like a weed with little care required. It will also self seed and return each season once it has become established in the garden. Hi Margot, I’m sure that you can grow epazote during your spring-summer growing seasons.
