Burnet
How do I sow salad burnet outdoors?
Pimprenelle is an aromatic plant that's easy to grow outdoors. To sow it, opt for spring or autumn, when temperatures are mild. Prepare light, well-drained soil by carefully weeding. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1 to 2 cm, spacing them about 20 cm apart.
Be sure to keep the soil moist during germination, without over-watering to prevent the seeds from rotting. Burnet likes sunny to semi-shady locations. Once the shoots are well established, you can use them in your dishes to add a touch of delicate aroma.
Be careful, however, not to overwater burnet once it's well established, as it doesn't need much water. Also avoid using chemical fertilisers, preferring natural methods to fertilise the soil if necessary. By following these simple tips, you'll be able to enjoy the subtle flavours of burnet in your garden.
