Rare Bloody Dock Red Sorrel Seeds Heirloom Non-GMO BN50 Bloody Dock Red Sorrel (Rumex sanguineus). Stunning foliage plant with elongated, medium green leaves, exquisitely veined in a brilliant burgundy-purple. A hardy perennial, it quickly forms an attractive clump, which sends up red flower clusters in early summer, followed by brown seed heads. A superb, deer-resistant accent plant. Count: 50+ 6-12 hours of Sun Sprouts in 10-14 Days Ideal Temperature: 65-75 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 10-12" Frost Hardy: Yes Type: Annuals, Perennials Sun Exposure: Full Sun Water: Regular Water Family: Polygonaceae Type: Annuals, Perennials Sun Exposure: Full Sun Water: Regular Water Planting Zones: 4-11 Family: Polygonaceae Rumex sanguineus (Red) Sorrel is grown for their edible leaves, which can be used raw in salads or cooked in soups, sauces, egg dishes. The flavor is like that of sharp, sprightly spinach, but sorrel is more heat tolerant and produces throughout the growing season. Common sorrel (Rumex acetosa) is a larger plant (to 3 feet tall), with leaves 6 inches long, many shaped like elongated arrowheads. It is native to northern climates. French sorrel (R. scutatus) is a more sprawling plant, to 112 feet high, with shorter, broader leaves and a milder, more lemony flavor than R. acetosa. Native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. The oxalic acid found in sorrel can replace lemon, which is often added to smoothies to balance out the taste. Grow sorrel in reasonably good soil. Sow seeds in early spring; thin seedlings to 8 inches apart. Or set out transplants at any time, spacing them 8 inches apart. Pick tender leaves when they are big enough to use; cut out flowering stems to encourage leaf production. Replace (or dig and divide) plants after 3 or 4 years. The plant grows to about 2 feet in height in clumps with pink flowers in racemose appearing during early summer. Growing Tips: Harvest tender leaves starting in early spring, remove flowering tops to keep leaves tender and to prevent unwanted volunteers. May become invasive in some climates. Like any other greens, wash sorrel clumps thoroughly in clean running water and rinse in salt water for about 30 minutes in order to remove dirt and any insecticide residues. The fresh herb should be used early to get maximum nutrition. To store, keep wrapped in a damp towel and place in the refrigerator for extended use (up to 3 days). Sorrel uses – Add to soups – Make it into a sauce for fish – Add to omelets and scrambled eggs – Add to stuffing for meat – Shred sorrel and stuff it into fish – Add to quiches – Add to mashed potatoes – Add to hummus – Add to pasta – Add to mixed-leaf and herb salads – Add to chard and spinach anywhere you would use those – Use as a filling for buckwheat crêpes – Make it into a pesto, to use in pasta, on pizzas, or with grilled salmon – Sorrel Smoothie Note: No tracking # will be provided to make the shipping cost-effective for us and free for you.

Ok Time to try out tags. Do I know what I am intending to do. No. But do I know "do things get dopamine". Yes.
Since spicy Tumblr was put to rest might as well talk about spices I like. Also why I am not allowed to cook.
I have spent some time trying to find spices only for others to have not experienced them. So I will tell the void of these spices. Categories will be random and unrelated.
Easy to Grow:
Sorrel/bloody dock: this Green little thing is a plant and it grows from the dirt. It will grow in pots. I can tell you it will live with partial shade and it will surprise you by coming back the next year. The flavour of this plant friend is sour and sweet like citric acid water glazed on a spinach leaf. The leaf is edible I have not tried eating the root. It can be used in a way to spruce up the flavour composition of a salad.
Horseradish: This big leafy friend is hardy as in it is ok in US region 5&6 and possibly more. The edibility of this plant is quite undervalued. Oh you only want to eat the root with it's pungent flavour. But much to my joy I acknowledge the edibility of the leaf. Which has the average flavour of most leafy greens with the added flavour of horseradish as an undertone. People don't let me cook with it and so I have not experienced the versatility in cuisine.
Our friend the dandelion. You can eat it if you catch it early. Before it goes to seed the leaves are less bitter and good cooked in a pan until they wilt reminiscent of spinach. I have heard second hand you can just throw the roots in a bucket and just keep harvesting the greens as you would with microgreens.
That is all for now as my mind took a wander. Thank you for your time.

Garden Report 21.06.19
Maintenance is the name of the game these days. With the rains there is a new flush of growth ... and pest. Will be spending quite some time just whacking back the jungle. Need to add fertilizer/worm compost to garden containers.
The Burbank plums are doing nicely; they should be ready in a couple of weeks. The European pear is putting on another flush of blooms all on its south face. It will be interesting to see if I get a double harvest or a fruit drop. The Autumn raspberries are not doing so great as the root stock/crowns they sent were sub-par. There are a couple of blooms but the plants are so late sprouting and small, I don’t expect any ting about them this season. It is interesting to see the different container gardens all in the same area, with the same soil and plants/care but yet some plants refuse to thrive. I’ve noticed this in the grow box as well. Some of the tomatoes are getting ready to flower. It has been months since I planted peas and the few survivors are just starting to bloom. Its been a strange growing year so far!
The chickens have just stopped laying, just like that. Will have to watch to see if they are going to molt. I have gone through three different brands of lay rations and they just hate it -- I suspect they are from the same mill and just repackaged for different outlets. The scratch they like has either radish/rape seed filler that they hate -- they refuse to eat it. Today had to clear out the aviary of billed out kibble and red seed. Tomorrow will bring in new beach sand and turn over the earth for them.
I have a great influx of bumble bees this year! I didn’t get around to removing all the hedge nettle (native prickle mint) and they are just wild over it. Will leave it until it sets seed then its out of there.
Working on removing some brickwork as I need to move Mary’s lemon tree she gave me. It is not getting enough sun now that we have moved the Asian pear where it now is flourishing. Part of me says just stick it back in a pot but the other part wants it to be free to grow in the earth.
Harvesting: red sail lettuce, artichokes, rhubarb alpine strawberries ever-bearing strawberries, blueberries, chard, variety of kales, rapini (italian broc), roses, nettles, nasturtiums, borage, parsley, chives, salade burnette, comfrey, sorrel (french and bloody dock), collards.

PERENNIAL HERBS
Tumblr media
Want to grow fresh herbs at home?  There's no need to replant these herbs! They grow back year after year.
Angelica (Angelica archangelica) (A biennial but if you let it seed, it will be perennial.) 
Zones 4-9 I call this a big babe herb. With flowers, can get six feet tall and four feet wide. Good for the back of a border
Anise Hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) 
Zones 4-9 One of my favorite edible flowers. Tastes just like a box of Good 'n Plenty. Probably a mid-range plant or front of the border.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) 
Zones 3-7 This herb is a summer tea favorite. Once you have this herb, you will have it forever. Cut down by a third throughout the summer if you don't want it to bloom. Once you have let it bloom, it will seed wherever. I was pulling out little lemon balms in the garden today! Put this one in the front so you can clip it and use it. Has a musky lemon scent.
Catnip (Nepeta cataria) 
Zones 3-9 If you have cats, you'll maybe want a fence around it to keep them off of it. They do love it. I have never grown this but I would say it would be a mid-range or front of the border herb.
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) 
Zones 3-9 Janice already has this in her garden. It is a staple in my herb garden. Love those edible flowers in my omelet in the spring. This makes a lovely border especially when it is blooming. Cut down and chop up and freeze for winter use. Mid-range or front of the border.
Garlic Chives (Allium tuberosum) 
Zones 3-9 The difference in garlic chives from regular chives is that garlic chives have a flat leaf and chives have a tubular or round leaf. Garlic chives have beautiful white flowers in August when you are looking for a flower in the herb garden. Just make sure you cut those flowers the minute they finish blooming or you will end up with a garden of garlic chives. Leaves are very good in stir-fries. Mid-range or front of the border.
Sweet Cicely (Myrrhis odorata) 
Zones 3-7 This is a good sugar substitute with an additional anise flavor. It reminds me of tansy. It does march along. Not super invasive and it does like the shade. It would be a good back of the border herb.
Bloody Dock (Rumex sanguineus) 
Zones 4-9 This is a red-veined sorrel. It is very ornamental. It does not have the lemony taste of regular sorrel. Does well in water or by a pond. It has gently spread itself throughout my garden and/or its seeds were composted and it has been spread that way. Front of the border of your herb garden.
Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) 
Zones 3-10 Trying to give you herb flowers as well as just herbs. This flower is a favorite of butterflies and the seedheads are loved by the finches and other birds in my garden. They do get sown around by the wind and the birds. One of my favorite flowers in the mid to late summer. They are not just purple either. Lots of color choices, but the granddad is the purple one. Mid-range for an herb border. Two or three plants together make a nice stand of flowers.
Elecampane (Inula helenium) 
Zones 3-8 This is another big babe herb. I have always wanted to grow this plant but haven't always been able to find it. It has leaves similar to the mullein and the flowers are small and resemble a double sunflower. It would be a back of the border herb. It is used for dyeing and the root is used in the manufacture of absinthe.
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) 
Zones 4-9 I have trouble growing these flowers. They do need some shade. Although when I have grown them in shade, they reach for the sun. They are a poisonous flower and are a source of digitalis, the heart drug. They are a mid-range flower in the herb garden.
Johnny-Jump-Up (Viola tricolor) 
Zones 4-9 Very front of the border. Many gardeners get these to reseed in the garden. I have not had that luck. Love these little faces in the herb garden. Need some shade to keep going into summer. An edible flower and easy to start from seed.
Horehound (Marrubium vulgare) 
Zones 4-8 Horehound is a lovely little plant with gray pebbly leaves. Make cough drops to help soothe your cough. Front of the herb garden border.
Horseradish (Armorica rusticana) 
Zone 3-10 Horseradish was the 2011 Herb of the Year and can be very invasive in a garden. You might make a horseradish garden on its own. It would be a perennial herb, but just be aware that it will take over the garden unless you control it either in a pot that is deep because you are harvesting the root or by exiling it to its own bed. Has a beautiful flower in the second year.
Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) 
Zone 3-9 Very aromatic and maybe not in the best way. Slightly bitter leaves used in soups or stews and with game meat. I do love the tiny blue or white flowers around July 4th. I would use it as a hedge in the front of the border. I need to use this herb a bit more often.
Joe-Pye Weed (Eupatorium purpureum) 
Zones 3-10 I have this in the back of the border. It is another big boy herb! It does alright in shade. It is a native of the eastern US. It has rosy purple flowers in the fall. Richters catalog talks of when the leaves are crushed the smell is vanilla. Another plus!
Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris) 
Zones 3-8 This beautiful clumping herb is a beautiful addition to your herb garden. It has chartreuse flowers. The leaves are like little capes hence the name mantle. I would use it in the front of the herb garden.
Lamb's Ear (Stachys byzantina) 
Zones 4-9 Wooly leaves that are a delight for children. Were used as bandages for wounds. Front of the herb garden for these. Silvery leaf color is a nice contrast for other herbs in the garden.
Lavender 'Hidcote' or 'Munstead' (Lavandula angustifolia) 
Zones 4-8 These are two of the hardiest lavenders. These lavenders are the ones I would recommend you use to cook with. Any angustifolia cultivar would be edible. The other lavenders are too camphorous and not hardy in Zone 4. Mid-range or front of the herb garden for these.
Spearmint (Mentha spicata) 
Zones 3-8 Most mints are invasive. If you don't want it everywhere in the garden, put it in a container. Spearmint is one of my favorite mints. Not as strong as peppermint. Delicious in tea blends. Richters calls it the best cooking mint. There are tons of mints not all of them are hardy to Zone 3 or 4 so make sure you check before buying it.
Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum muticum) 
Zones 4-6 This is a bee magnet and very fragrant. It is beautiful with fresh flower arrangements and it dries very nicely. It can be used in the back of the border or mid-border. It does run but is not invasive like regular mints.
Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota) 
Zones 3-10 I put this in because Janice loves this in the garden and Janice, I have good news that Richters in Canada sells seeds for a reasonable price. Check it out through the link above. I had this in my garden for quite a few years. A beneficial insect magnet. I would put this in the back or mid-range part of your garden.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare dulce) or Bronze Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare dulce 'Rubrum') 
Zones 4-9 Both of these fennels can be used in cooking. Regular fennel has green fronds and bronze fennel has purple ones. I have had bronze fennel at various times. Just cut the flower heads before they seed everywhere! Use either of these in the back of the border.
Garden Sage (Salvia officinalis) 
Zones 4-9 I really love this species of herb. Garden sage is so versatile. It can be used for cooking or in potpourri or for an herb wreath. I love the gray-green leaves in contrast with other herbs. I would use this herb in the mid-range part of the herb garden.
Garden Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) 
Zones 4-8 Mostly famously used in sorrel soup. It is a spring herb that has a bright lemony flavor. It has an interesting red flower spike that dries very well. The leaf is shield-shaped. We use the small early leaves in our salads. I would use this herb in the front of the herb garden.
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) 
I would find a place of exile for this herb. It is used to repel ants and a couple of summers ago it was a haven for the various stages of the ladybug. So it doesn't repel good insects! Don't be too quick to get rid of this herb. It has fern-like leaves and can be in the back of the border but it does run so it can take over a bed if not careful. Not for culinary purposes, but mothchasers can use a bit of tansy. It has very nice yellow button flowers and I have made a very nice wreath with tansy at the end of the season.
French Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus sativa) 
Zones 3-7 This is the only tarragon to use in cooking. It is not propagated by seed. If you purchase tarragon seeds, you have the more inferior Russian tarragon.
English Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) 
Zones 4-9 This is the one thyme to have for cooking. Silver Thyme (Thymus vulgaris 'Argenteus') Zones 4-8 I have some problems getting this through the winter. Sharp drainage is key. Lemon Thyme (Thymus x citriodorus) Zones 4-9 Can be creeping or upright. I really love the flavor of this thyme. Does it have anything to do with a lemon? Maybe. Mother-of-Thyme (Thymus praecox) Zones 4-8 A very robust creeping thyme. Used in cooking. All thymes are good in the front of the border.
Other thymes may be hardy. Need to check your zones.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) Zones 4-9 Fern shaped leaves and white flowers that have a very fragrant scent of vanilla. I don't have this enough in my garden. It needs a bit of shade in the heat of summer.

Death and Flowers | Sorrel | Body Reaction | Closed for Chieko/Kotori/Kayla/Chikako
Everything is happening so quickly. The announcement- which startled him, where did that even come from, who knew there was a P.A. system on the island- and then the update on his ID. By the time he makes it to the docks there's already a commotion of other students, and...
Ren Miura. He'd barely known the boy, spoken to him on the ship only briefly, when they'd shared an interest in flowers. Now he's looking at the dead body laid out on the dock, lifeless and bloody, and he feels ill...
But that's not the primary concern. Ren is dead, but Kotori isn't, although if the shouting is any indication that may be in danger of changing. Sorrel races towards the gathered girls as quickly as he can, pushing damp hair back from his face. He looks totally thrown to see Kotori, but ready to spring into action nevertheless.
"What happen? Why she here? How bad she hurt?" He kneels down next to her, glancing at Chieko, Kayla, and Chikako briefly for answers before trying to examine the girl himself. Sorrel isn't any substitute for a doctor, but he does know quite a bit about first aid and taking care of injuries. He'll do what he can here, asking Chieko- or Kayla if Chieko is too distraught- to hand him whatever supplies are needed as he needs them and giving out any necessary instructions.

Rare Bloody Dock Red Sorrel Seeds, Organic Heirloom Non-GMO BN25 Bloody dock plant, aka red veined sorrel (Rumex sanguineus), is a rosette forming perennial from the buckwheat family. It generally grows in a clumping mound that reaches around 18 inches (46 cm.) in height and is just as wide Stunning foliage plant with elongated, medium green leaves, exquisitely veined in a brilliant burgundy-purple. A hardy perennial, it quickly forms an attractive clump, which sends up red flower clusters in early summer, followed by brown seed heads. A superb, deer-resistant accent plant. Count: ~25+ 6-12 hours of Sun Sprouts in 10-14 Days Ideal Temperature: 65-75 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 10-12" Frost Hardy: Yes Type: Annuals, Perennials Sun Exposure: Full Sun Water: Regular Water Family: Polygonaceae Type: Annuals, Perennials Sun Exposure: Full Sun Water: Regular Water Planting Zones: 4-11 Family: Polygonaceae Rumex sanguineus (Red) Bloody Dock Red Sorrel, bloodwort Bloody Sorrel / Red Dock, Rumex sanguineus ssp. sanguineus Red Vein Sorrel has edible leaves, which can be used raw in salads or cooked in soups, sauces, egg dishes. The flavor is like that of sharp, sprightly spinach, but sorrel is more heat tolerant and produces throughout the growing season. French sorrel (R. scutatus) is a more sprawling plant, to 112 feet high, with shorter, broader leaves and a milder, more lemony flavor than R. acetosa. Native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. The oxalic acid found in sorrel can replace lemon, which is often added to smoothies to balance out the taste. Grow sorrel in reasonably good soil. Sow seeds in early spring; thin seedlings to 8 inches apart. Or set out transplants at any time, spacing them 8 inches apart. Pick tender leaves when they are big enough to use; cut out flowering stems to encourage leaf production. Replace (or dig and divide) plants after 3 or 4 years. The plant grows to about 2 feet in height in clumps with pink flowers in racemose appearing during early summer. Upright, bright green leaves have exquisite deep red veins. A colorful and unique addition to perennial borders and mixed container plantings. Herbaceous. Growing Tips: Harvest tender leaves starting in early spring, remove flowering tops to keep leaves tender and to prevent unwanted volunteers. May become invasive in some climates. How to Grow Red Veined Sorrel Bloody dock plants are hardy to USDA zones 4-8 but can be grown as annuals in other areas. Sow the seeds directly into the garden in the spring or divide existing plants. Situate the planting in full sun to partial shade in average to moist soil. Bloody dock care is minimal, as this is a low-maintenance plant. It can be grown around ponds, in a bog, or in a water garden. Keep the plants moist at all times. The plant can be invasive in the garden if allowed to self-sow. Remove the flower stalks to prevent self-seeding and promote bushy leaf growth. Fertilize once a year in the spring. GROWING BLOODY DOCK Bloody dock is easy to grow from seed. It likes a evenly moist, well drained soil and partial shade. The red veins are already apparent when the plant is just 1/2" tall! Like any other greens, wash sorrel clumps thoroughly in clean running water and rinse in salt water for about 30 minutes in order to remove dirt and any insecticide residues. Bloody Dock can grow up to 3 feet tall and is a perennial up to zone 6. Like other Sorrel's, Bloody Dock grows continuously from early spring till late fall. As a perennial it's often one of the first greens available in the spring so if you're looking for a spring salad this would be a great choice. Many people simply plant Bloody Dock as a foliage plant similar to how you would use Hostas. It makes for a very striking border and if left to self seed will easily fill an empty area of your landscaping if desired. The fresh herb should be used early to get maximum nutrition. To store, keep wrapped in a damp towel and place in the refrigerator for extended use (up to 3 days). Harvesting tips I harvest red veined sorrel from my zone 5 garden all year round. In spring, summer, and autumn I have plants in my raised bed vegetable garden as well as in containers on my deck. In winter I like to have a couple of plants tucked into cold frames or in my polytunnel beds. There are two main ways to harvest sorrel: Pluck individual leaves as needed. For salads and fresh eating, I pick leaves that are three to four inches long. These are the most tender. Older leaves are tougher and sharper in flavor. Grow it as a ‘cut and come again crop’. Need a bunch of sorrel at once for pesto or another recipe? Shear the plants back to just a couple of inches above the ground. This gives you a big harvest but also forces the plants to push out new growth for future meals. MEDICINAL USES FOR BLOODY DOCK As an herb, Bloody Dock has shown great promise for preventing cancer and fighting high cholesterol and diseases of the circulatory system. It's high in vitamins A & C, iron and potassium. It has antiseptic and astringent properties and a decoction of the leaves can be used externally for healing cuts, burns, rashes, wounds, hemorrhoids, insect bites and boils. The tap root is often dug up in spring and dried for later use. Bloody Dock does contain a good amount of oxalic acid (like spinach and brassicas). This is the nutrient that's believed to fight cancer however, it can also contribute to kidney stones in high doses so it's recommended to not overdo it!

Bloody Dock Red Sorrel and Green Belleville Sorrel Mix, Varieties Heirloom Non-GMO BN50 Green Belleville Garden Sorrel (Rumex acetosa) is appreciated in native cuisines throughout Europe and in many parts of Asia and Africa, as well. A perennial, it is available in early spring, before many annual crops have even been sown! The lemony tartness of the young succulent leaves gives a tangy twist to salads. Widely used in soups; combine with spinach for an authentic spanikopita. This cultivated variety with clear green leaves is much slower bolting than the wild species.

Garden Report 21.07.24
Sort report, more like harvest notes as my brain is not functioning well and neither is the body.
Harvest: onions (yellow, white, red bulbs, spring onions), blue berries, strawberries (alpine (everbearing), raspberry, tays, lettuce (loose leaf), french sorrel, bloody dock, comfrey, kales (walkingstick, red russian, white ragged/frilled), mint, hedgeberry, dill, parsley, salade burnette, peas, kohl leaves, yellow crookneck squash. Not in abundance but just enough for meals (no extra for pantry), Rhubarb is just now coming in late while the gooseberries are early. Third crop of nettles in. Plums are ripening quickly.
Pantry: from the farm (my little goat herder gets part pay in fresh veggies and other things) dried leaf mustard, kale, ginger root, our own nettles. I may have enough to make jam from the berries and rhubarb. Will make fruit leather from plums or juice -- I’m just so tired from treatment, I’m in a drag-ass scenario not being able to get enough umpph to get things done.
The hens are all laying but not like their first year. Bronte and Alcott lay the most (about every day either one or both depending on neighborhood stress level), Rossetti being smaller gives one every second or third day. She’s such a great hen, so passive and willing to follow directions (like evenings I need to crash early, she doesn’t fuss about going to bed early). Alcott has calmed down and is accepting her #2 position while big butt Bronte talks up a storm and complains about Everything. You got ears -- she’s going to give you a load to listen too. Its getting harder to find greens they want. They don’t like their pellet ration, pick through their scratch mix to get their favourites and just hang out until the meal worms come late afternoon (this might come to an end since prices jumped 25%). Its like a kid with chips or crisp ... *whine* chiiiiiiips, chiiiiips, I want criiiiiisp. My people kids are being picky eaters too so maybe its just that time of year when boredom sits in.
Still haven’t planted. Still waiting on new seed order.

Garden Report 21.10.04
So my days have merged (again?) to a dull whirlwind of blah (still?). I know I have always said I like boring, it’s comforting ... but w/o distinction and a handy-dandy phone calendar, I would be in what Pink Floyd calls Comfortably Numb.
I did get some hours in the garden, hence the report of sorts.
Harvest notes: walking stick kale, yellow summer crook neck squash, alpine strawberries, elderberries, quince, Queen Cox apples, bloody dock, french sorrel, sun-chokes/Jerusalem artichokes, and a cherry tomato. All the purple Russian toms got just about ripe and we had rain and cold and mold. There are a few left on the vines that are green.
Pantry notes: the peppers I had hanging just were not drying in a quick enough fashion, even with the dehumidifier running under them. I put them in the dehydrator, clipped their stems short but left the caps. THAT was a mistake! It took DAYS and me poking lots of holes and turning them over repeatedly before they even finished drying. I was getting tired of poking, would forget to wash my hands, then later wipe my eyes. Not fun being stupid! Note to self: remove caps, de-seed, slit into strips to dry. Pickles: no one likes sun-chokes here but I am going to try to pickle some of the escapees. I mainly keep them for the flowers/bees (they sort of look like a sunflower/Black-eyed Susan). Fruit leather: cooking down quince puree with windfall Queen Cox apples.
Maintenance: We did get a couple of big branches down in the garden. Then one swung through the security lattice panel and that was the end of that project. Another series of rains are to be happening this week and the following -- the Storm Window is open wide so I don’t know how much more we will get done being weekend warriors. It seems to like to rain on the weekends.
