Introducing Samphire
Samphire is one of the strangest varieties that we promote on our social channels but it is a variety that we delight in growing. If ever a plant reflected us as a business!
We are based in Birmingham, which is quite far from the coast in any direction and yet for the last few years we have delighted in growing Samphire in our back garden. It requires watering with salt water in order for the plant to absorb that delicious salty taste that we love it for.
We have experienced good results by planting the Samphire plant in a pot with drainage holes and then placing that pot into a tray containing the salt water mix (1tsp to a pint of water). The plant then absorbs the salt into its root system. It's all a bit of an experiment!
The reason that we love growing and selling Samphire so much is that it sums up what we are about as a business. It's fun to push boundaries and to try growing new things. It's even more fun to innovate and grow varieties that perhaps shouldn't naturally grow within the conditions that you need it to.
We just love this plant. It's so cool.
Have you tried growing Samphire before or just enjoy eating it?
Tempted to give it a go in 2023?
