leaves before flowers form. For pickles, best harvested while
flower heads and partially mature seed clusters are abundant
and green. Seeds are flat and brown when ripe. Add to dishes
just before serving for maximum flavour. Distinctive added flavour
for sauces, soups and salmon, carrot and egg dishes. Chopped
leaves are tasty with sour cream and cucumbers. Companion plant
for cabbage, lettuce and onions. Prefers dry, sunny location.
