What a lovely surprise I found in the vegetable patch the other day! A beautiful nasturtium. It must have self-seeded because we weren’t growing nasturtium anywhere near where I found it. The mild weather we’ve been having has obviously helped it on his way. Nasturtium leaves are delicious and I’m sure some of these will end up in a salad or sandwich.
One of the salad leaves we’re growing this year is blood veined sorrel. It’s slightly tougher than the other leaves such as oriental mustard and mizuna but has a lovely citrus taste…to the point where if you chew it long enough it actually tastes quite like lemon! So, if you like tangy salad leaves, then I reckon this one’s for you. They make a nice colour addition to salads too (like chive flowers).
