I have tried the "French" sorrel seeds from Territorial seeds, this year and while they sprouted easily enough, the young plants were quickly and continually stripped of leaves while tons of kale, mustard, amaranth and new zealand spinach grow relatively carefree. Same thing happened with purslane. This being in zone 9. Lately I've been eating and enjoying a lot of the prolific and gorgeous red giant mustard.>>Take care,>>SlimDon't know... there are, if memory serves, two basic types of sorrel.These seeds came from the Hungarian brother-in-law of the friend I've been doing the vegetable garden, et. al., with. The voles did a number on some of it and I'm planting French Sorrel via seed tomorrow.Envious that you're in Zone 9... up here, the growing season is short to the degree with have to start a lot of plants inside to get a jump on matters.Haven't done New Zealand spinach here (did on a farm I worked on years ago), and hope to this season. Looks quite interesting.Biggest problem is flea beetles and their attraction to brassica plants. The solution (non-chemical) is to cover them with a fine mesh row cloth (remay) until they are large enough to weather the attack.Best, Mark (I get to put Kale, loose leaf lettuces, Spinach, Chard, Radishes, and Rutabagas into the ground this week... maybe some turnip as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
