There is a little patch of garden between the house and the gite that I have been using for herbs and kitchen supplies. In the picture there is Parsley (self-seeded and hence all over the place), two Thyme plants (a third one that I had elsewhere died over Winter), three Angelica plants and Sorrel. I have also planted spring onions, Coriander and Chervil.
I am starting to wish that I hadn't dedicated the rest of the bed to flowers, but perhaps keeping the veg a bit hidden from guests is a good idea. And here's a free picture of a bag of mixed flower bulbs I bought last Autumn.
Stop press! According to a commenter, you can find them in Asian markets :)
I had to grow my own spring onions too...but here they are available on the markets if I haven't kept up to schedule on the sowing.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, did you ever find them in France?
ReplyDeleteJust had some spring onions in a potato salad actually... and very nice they were too.
ReplyDeleteSteve - try adding dill too.
ReplyDeleteI never saw them...and I looked hard!
ReplyDeleteJust those...was it Barlotti...with the small bulb which were not at all the thing.
This response is very late. I have found spring onions at the Asian market, Belasia, in Rennes. This might be a source if you have access to an Asian market in your area.
ReplyDeleteI learn that they're called ciboule, while ciboulette (littel ciboule) is chives.
