When the plot starts to resemble a beach, it's time to resort to maritime plants, quite littorally. Asparagus and chard are adaptations of shore plants. A more unusual choice is sea kale. It's a native perennial and you may find its blanched stems emerging from your local shingle bank but you can mimic this by use of force.
At a time of relative dearth, it gives a crunchy treat with a sweet cabbagy flavour. Use raw, in spring stir-frys, and with a squeeze of lemon on pasta. Remove the chimney pot and it develops an attractive rash of white flowers, worth a place in the flower border, if you go in for such conformist concepts.
