Salad Burnet

Maybe it’s because we don’t have a hard winter to kill it back, but the salad burnet ends up being a thick mass of old leaves, which are too coarse to eat. So a month ago it was time for a hard trim.

A week later it was coming back with plenty of fresh leaves.

And now at four weeks there is enough to start using for salads, and it is sending up flower scapes, which I should probably trim too. The flowers are insignificant and i don’t want it to re-seed this year; it’s a self-sower.

Just in time for salad season.
