Borage:
... is a fantastic self seeding herb with beautiful blue flowers. It may be used as a "pot herb" ie added in reasonable bulk to savory dishes, mixed with spinach, and when chopped finely, added to salads or sandwiches. It is quite hairy but these hairs are not irritating to the mouth. The flavour of borage is similar to cucumber, and pea and borage soup is a classic combination! The flowers may be picked...

Growing and Caring for Herbs (in General) ... finding it particularly tedious when forced to spend endless days at garden centres by my parents. For some reason, however, over the last couple of years this interest has rather snuck up on me and I am now the rather over-excited owner of a full blown garden with veggie patch. Some of the first few plants I started to grow were herbs. Herbs have many advantages for the novice gardener, so here are my thoughts on growing them. ~Inexpensive~ For those who like to start projects and then quickly get bored of them, or those with shallow pockets due to the credit crunch, herbs are marvellously inexpensive to buy. Our local garden centre (which is much cheaper than t... Read the full review: DIY the green-fingered way (growing herbs) by Pandora321 |

Cress ... note this review refers to the edible garden plant land cress, and not to watercress, the spindly type of cress you get in an egg-and-cress sandwich, or any other type of cress. I picked up a package of land cress seeds at the local nursery as an impulse buy - the blurb written on the packet made it sound great as an easy-to-grow crop for the garden as it s apparently an alternative to watercress (which I love eating in soup) but doesn t need to be immersed in water in order to grow properly. Land cress will also tolerate shade, which seemed quite an advantage given the aspect of our veg plot, it can be sown direct into the prepared beds, and when ours came up it...

Cress ... is a delicious, succulent, green plant that has a tendency to find its way into egg sandwiches. Whilst the leaves often get stuck in the back of the throat, the stalks are particularly moist and go down like a treat! The taste is very mild, and extremely watery and refreshing...Mmm! Now cress is the subject of many a colourful debate regarding just which kind of cress goes best in a sandwich when unaccompanied by any other form of vegetable or meat product. Well after much cogitation on the matter, I have reached the conclusion that watercress is by far the most delicious, but only if used in the correct proportion, too little can leave a very dry watercress sandwi...
