R is for radish and rocket

I was in Wordsworth House Garden today. The garden is planted in the way that it would have been in W W's day including things used in cooking. Today we were doing some tastings for those members of the public who were brave/interested enough. The long green things are radishes which have gone to seed. In the C18th they were pickled to give winter green food. (They taste good raw). The flowers are rocket flowers -also edible and with a nutty flavour.
