Sisymbrium Irio - London Rocket

I haven't finished the IMEF profile for this plant yet. Here is a link with decent enough information.

London Rocket is growing everywhere right now! Grab some fast because they are going to seed and will soon be gone. Dry the leaves and store for future medicinal or culinary use.

I added about six fresh young leaves to a can of chicken soup with some chives and rice for dinner tonight. 

Watch out for white spots on the underside of leaves. Do not harvest these plants. I'd move fifty feet and check to see if those plants are unaffected. It's a fungus, none of my sources are sure if it's benign for humans but don't take the chance.
