Plant ‘cut and come again’ Salads now.
Now is a good time to plant ‘cut and come again’ salads.
They can be grown in:
- containers
- window boxes
- directly in the vegetable garden
salads need to be shaded from direct sunshine in midsummer.
Thomson & Morgan has a list of “cut and come again” types:
- red Bulls Blood
- variegated Land Cress which crops almost all year
- rocket
- chicory
Follow the simple sowing instructions on each salad variety.
Planting cut and come again’ salads now, will provide a constant supply of green leaves through the summer.
I must tell you I love growing these lettuces in my container garden. Plant one big batch one week and then another a week or so later…endless salad on your doorstep!
