    The name makes it extra tempting but ill have to pass, I have too much already. Im trying to make a little herb botanical garden out my front for my neighbours and its going to swallow many of my pots. Im then moving my common herbs close to my front door. Self sufficiency!!

    I have collected seeds or plants of:

    Coriander, Parsley, Celery, Lovage, thyme, rosemary, Perrenial Rocket, marigold tarrigon, Spignel, Dittander/Wasabi Herb, a wild sorrel, a native bellflower which has edible flowers, native crow garlic, green onions, mint and marjoram, catmint, Nigella, sage, fennel and artichokes. And thats before any fruit :rolleyespink: I am tempted to put a local hogweed somewhere nearby but that plant still scares me :redface: the green seeds are an interesting flavour but is it healthy? I have yet to try mallow leaves and flowers, or any of the native chenopodiums like Lambs Quarters. I tried a few silene species but was unimpressed, one had sweet leaves though which is interesting.

    I am also tempted to buy Santolina Rosemarinafolia which people are calling "olive herb", and maybe rock samphire also.

    Gooseberries, a grape, a peach, an english plum, raspberries, chilean guavas/ugni, physalis peruviana, tomatillos, a few peppers, chaenomeles quinces, a tiny pomegranate i grew from seed, kiwiberries, yellow nightshade and 2 strains of native black nightshade. I wish I had space for more :ideaIPB:

    My beqhinho peppers have provided enough pickling material for 5 jars, that saves 12£ from sainsburies! :biggrin: Ahh and I still want to try a baccatum, too addictive! I go through periods of over enthusiasm followed by neglect and apathy for months, perhaps a symptom of my ADHD.
