28 Sep How To Grow Sorrel
Sorrel is grown for its tangy, slightly-sour tasting arrow-shaped leaves. There are five types of sorrels to choose from: garden sorrel, French sorrel, herb patience or spinach dock, spinach rhubarb, and common or sheep sorrel. All are good for eating. Sorrel is used as a salad green accent.
Pick fresh sorrel leaves when they are young and tender, just 4 or 5 inches tall. Harvest cut-and-come-again through the growing season. Remove flowers before they mature to keep the plants producing new leaves into the fall.
