Since we have a Samphire growalong with SC, I thought I'd introduce another coastal, edible plant to tempt you.
Official name - Mertensia maritima - common name Oyster leaf, Oysterplant, Sea Bluebells, Sea Lungwort. Lots of names for this one! Said to have a distinctive salty taste with slightly, crunchy, fleshy green leaves, reminiscent of eating oysters!
It grows wild in Scotland, SC, one for you to look out for on your walks.
I have some Pennard seeds, from a seed swap https://www.pennardplants.com/proddetail...d=Seed1170 Other suppliers are available including those we love to hate.
