Topic: Saltwort

The seed packet just jumped out at me!  ;D

It says similar to samphire and the growing instructions say open ground and no mention of salty water.

Has anyone grown it before, to give me some tips?

have just seen this for sale....did you ever grow it?

Hi Hector, yes I did.  Tried it in salads and it didn't taste of anything much, in fact almost choked me!

It's still growing and I might have a go at cooking it now the grass like leaves have thickened up.

I remembered samphire as a salty, kind of fine bean like plant.  Think you might be a little disappointed as I was, but give it a go, maybe I didn't give it enough TLC.  ;)
