Sorrel is a hardy perennial herb with bright green, arrow-shaped leaves and a sharp, tangy flavor similar to lemon or sour apple. It forms a clumping growth habit and produces tall stalks topped with small, reddish-green flowers in late spring to early summer. The leaves are rich in vitamin C and are best harvested young for their tender texture and mild acidity. Sorrel is commonly used in soups, sauces, salads, omelets, and as a flavorful green in fish or poultry dishes.
Varieties: Garden Sorrel (Rumex acetosa), French Sorrel (Rumex scutatus), and Red-Veined Sorrel (Rumex sanguineus).

In late spring to early summer, chervil produces small, white, umbrella-shaped flower clusters. It grows best in cool, shaded locations and prefers rich, moist soil.

The green stems are the part of the chives that are used as a herb. Chive stems are hollow and are usually used fresh. In terms of culinary appeal, the flavor of chives is considerably milder and more subtle than onion or garlic and its leaves can be used to flavor salads, dips, soups, stews, vinegars, cheese dishes sour cream and butter.
