This is Salad Burnet.  Such an interesting salad green.  You won’t find it in the grocery store, but you can grow it so easily from seed.  And once you plant it, you can transplant the baby plants the next year, and the year after, and on and on.

 

Salad Burnet is a low growing, mounding plant, about the size of parsley.  And it is pretty enough to grow in a pot or in your front flower bed.  The leaves taste and smell like cucumbers, adding a delightful addition to your salad greens.  The stems are a bit tough, but the leaves strip off the stems easily.  We add about 6 stems worth of leaves to every lunchtime salad mix.  

 

Who needs to BUY mixed greens, when you can grow your own?  

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
