Hello peeps, and happy bank holiday weekend 
My question today - have any of you first hand experience of growing samphire? (a quick forum search didn't immediately show up anything)
It seems to be the latest trendy veg, turning up in the cookery sections of most broad sheets. I'd love to have a go at growing it, but no idea where to start. Would prefer to start it from seed, as I haven't seen the plants in our local GC's, and mail order is not always that reliable.
Next time I go for a walk on the dunes/beach I am going to take a photo of it with me in case I can find it growing wild. Mind you if I found some I wouldn't eat it, (because of all the dog walkers
) but I might try a little propagating or transplanting!
