Soilpepper

I was surprised to find a vein of soilpepper in an old dead potted plant left outside in the rain. I didn’t realize what I’d found until I had already removed part of the vein — here you can see some delicate greens growing, consuming the sweetness of the earth and leaving behind the dry, sharp bitterness characteristic of soilpepper.

I’ll return most of this to the pot in the hopes that the vein continues to grow, but I can’t resist keeping some in my kitchen for experiments.
