  • Salad? now!

    I eat lots of salad - in all weathers, Snowdrop can't do salad in this cold weather.

    Is your salad only for Summer?

    I do a bit of Oriental Mix and a few Winter Density, but to be honest when the weather is like this I want food that goes "Blip, Blip" and has dumplings floating in it....

          I'm with Creemteez...I love hot and warming food at this time of year, but I do enjoy a nice roast ham sandwich with some salad on it.

              tend to have salad on sandwich snacks and at lunchtime but nice hearty stews and roasts for main evening meal.

                  Salad all year round here - there's almost always some on the side of the plate. But main course salad ingredients change during the winter, celeriac, carrot, oriental greens and cabbage feature strongly or whatever else can be scavenged in the garden and greenhouse!

                      I am trying to have salad each night....bottled it last night though (had a bowl of hot yummy soup)
                      Thing is - after I eat my salad I get soooo cold. It takes ages for all of me to warm up even with blankets and rugs and of course something hot to drink....whats all that about then?
                      Guess most of the salad does come from the fridge so I may have answered my own question.
                      I LOVE SALAD and yes I/we eat it all year round.

                        That's what we do as well.
                        At the end of August I sown some 'Arctic king' and 'all year round' lettuce in pots they were planted in my greenhouse border end of October once the Toms had come out.
                        I do sprouted seeds as well and they're always hand in a sarnie.

                          Mostly replae salads with stir-fry in winter.
                          Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

                            I always have some sprouting seeds on the go.

                            It is what propagators are designed for in the winter.

                              Love salads and eat loads (one day I'll get it sorted so I grow the right amount not too much or too little!). In summer it tends to be with cold stuff but at this time of year I'll have it with something hotter - have half a salmon and mushroom quiche in the fridge which I made on Sunday which needs eating up so will have that tonight with some salad and PFA spuds.

                              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
