Indeed it is, and also very reliable and trouble free. Only thing is to keep
the slugs off it. Otherwise it comes back like clockwork. With 3 heads
we never seem to have enough, as it's a staple in salads, and makes
a lovely sauce just chopped and a bit of cream added, over fish.

Sorrel is still very common in France, just about everyone I know
grows it. My neighbor must have 20 heads of it or so.
