The herbs are king in a garden where there is little full sun to share. The chives, parsley and sorrel seem pretty happy and have plenty of growth for the picking. In addition, the local radish growers seem to be keeping the greengrocers with a steady supply – I made two small batches of pickled radish earlier: a red version and a (skinned) white version. As they needed using I’ve put plenty of the radish in this lunch, with the addition of pickled piquant red peppers to complement the flavour.
