Show us your salad!!!

[veggiechicken]

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).

[veggiechicken]

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.

Nothing today as the greenhouse has been emptied and cleaned out ready for the new season. Here's some from a few weeks ago

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

[PyreneesPlot]

Lettuce Rouge d'Hiver de Grenoble, radiccio, spikey mustard greens and random bright green self sown lettuce from the flower bed...

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.

[MarkHackwell]

well i have tried sowing carrots and radishes in a heated greenhouse and no sign yet

[veggiechicken]

The sun is shining, Wimbledon is nearly over, it must be summer So, lets share our salads again
Today, I'm eating 3 sorts of lettuce, rocket, turnip leaves, oriental mustard, shallot tops and courgette flowers - with a strawberry (just one) to follow

[veggiechicken]

Having just eaten my first salad from the 2016 garden I thought I'd start this thread up again
Please share your salad with us

Here's mine
