Pests generally ignore sorrels. Excessive rain, however, may encourage leaf miners or black aphids. To reduce miner damage, destroy any leaves with white lines on them. Aphids can be dealt with organically by applying insecticidal soap. If deer are a problem, use a wire basket to protect your plants.

PATIENCE DOCK

We have not found any U.S. garden seed companies that currently offer this sorrel, although it is being distributed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for wetlands restoration. (Many aquatic birds like to eat the leaves, and its strong roots are useful for reducing streambank erosion.) As a courtesy to Mother Earth News readers, the author can supply fresh, organically produced seed. To order, send $3.00 and your mailing address to:

Patience Dock Seed

P. O. Box 75
