    Show us your salad!!!

    Thought it might be an idea to show what can be picked for a fresh salad throughout the year.
    I grow rocket, land cress and mixed salad leaves/mesclun/ misticanza (call it what you like) continuously in the greenhouse borders (unheated). Most days there is something to pick - and its so easy
    This is what I picked on 5th February

    And today 5th March

    Anyone else want to show us their salad?

    Do you sow when you pick? Broadcast? Modules? I want to do this (grow salad all the year round).

      I know you do Chris - that's what made me start this!!
      I start a pot of mixed seeds whenever the fancy takes me - usually every couple of weeks. Keep them indoors on the window sill until they're a reasonable potting up size, them plant them out in any available space. The rocket, landcress and some of the mustard self seed - saves me the job!
      I pick individual leaves from each plant - never cut the whole thing until its past it
      Here's the GH today

          I will do tomorrow. I don't think I have the energy to go out to the greenhouse now.

              I should have added that today (now the smell of the Jay's has worn off a bit) I've made the first sowings of 2 sorts of lettuce, rocket and mixed leaves

              and we're off...............

                Er, I did have two small seedlings in the kitchen but dropped my phone on them when I went to tace a piccy
                When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
                If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

                    Filing this under 'motivation to get the cold frame finished'. Hmm, I could chuck some seeds in a pot this weekend - that would be exciting.
                    March is the new winter.
