Rob has sown the first seeds of the season in the lean to. He has put in a row each of Spring Onion De Barletta, Raddish Pontuil and herb Summer Savory. The Summer Savory was sown by mistake as it was in the lettuce seed box but if I can get a few good plants going all well and good.
Herb Summer Savory – Satureja Hortensis
Summer savory is a half-hardy annual that self sows freely and has a strong, hot and slightly bitter flavor reminiscent of thyme. Plants grow to about 14 inches and have slender, erect stems with sparse bronze leaves and small, pale pink flowers. Native to the Mediterranean, it was much in demand in early Rome where it was thought to be a powerful aphrodisiac.
