There is nothing quite as special and rewarding as going out to your own garden and selecting home grown produce to use in your meals. Add colour to your salads with this delicious sharp lemon flavoured salad leaf. Sorrel is a perennial plant, one of the last to die down for winter and one of the first to appear in spring. When to Sow: March to September. Where to Sow: For baby leaves sow thinly from April to September, 0.5cm (1/4in) deep in rows 25-30cm (10-12in) apart. Sow seed in succession every 2-3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh baby leaves. What to do next: Keep soil moist and cut leaves from each plant leaving some leaves on each so they re-grow. You will often get 3-4 cuttings per plant. Harvest: May to October. Cut leaves as required. Handy Tip: Early sowings can be made in containers in a cold glasshouse. For micro salads sow every 7 days all year round in trays under glass or on a windowsill and harvest as seedlings to use as a garnish. Nutritional Values: An excellent source of Vitamins A and C.
