Chicory

Today's the day ........................... to let it flower

We specialise in our garden - in flowers that you wouldn't normally see.

By that, I mean flowers on plants that most gardeners would have harvested long before it got to the flowering stage. For example - take our rhubarb flowers which are second to none. Apparently you should never let rhubarb flower because it will weaken the plant (or some such nonsense).

Our Swiss chard had lovely flowers - and now has seeded itself all over the vegetable patch. Leek flowers are just a joy and should be grown purely for all the insects that love them as much as we do.

And here's our latest - chicory. No doubt we should have kept the plants well chopped to put in salads but then we would have missed its stunningly blue flowers .......................
