My mini trial "seaside" garden featuring rock samphire seedlings (crithmum maritimum). I found out from extensive web searching that rock samphire grows wild on cliff edges and is mentioned in Shakespeare's King Lear. Not to be confused with marsh samphire (salicornia europa) this little plant has an interesting and unusual taste - supposedly great for aromatic pickle and a rather fine and unusual garnish for fish - l think this could work well with scallops.

Dreaming of new summer days with his woofness! :)

For a 'non nightowl' last night was a very long one! Anyway, 2011 is upon us and like many avid allotmenters and growers 'seed packet frenzy' time beckons eagerly!! As soon as l can master the art of blogging l will do my utmost to post the plethora of grower's links etc that l have found in my unending search for exotic leaves & tasty veg ;-)
