Salad Leaves 'Speedy Mix'

Direct sow salad leaves outdoors in summer or in an unheated greenhouse during the autumn and winter months. Grow salad leaves in well prepared, fertile, moist soil in sun or semi shade. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½”) in drills 38cm (15”) apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 10cm (4”) apart for baby leaves or to 30cm (12”) for mature plants.

Water salad leaves regularly, and hoe between plants to prevent weeds from establishing. Dry weather may cause plants to bolt so watering is particularly critical during the 2 weeks before harvesting. A thick mulch applied around the plants will help to retain moisture in the soil. Harvest baby salad leaves when required by picking a few leaves from each plant. Mature plants can be harvested by pulling up the entire plant before trimming off the stem with a knife.

   By Lesley Dodson 30-07-2011

   Really easy to grow. And a very fast crop. I havent got a Green House or Garden only a blacony. I was amazed at the results. Best seeds I have grown. I have tried allot of companies but Thompson and Morgan are the Best for me so far. I have my Beetroot seeds in and I am sure they are going to be fantastic too. Well worth a go the Salad leaf selection is lovely and you get allot of seeds in a packet. My seeds are nearly ready so I am really looking forward to my 1st Crop. YUM
