The oriental salad mix  is growing well and providing a continuous crop of winter salad.

The oriental salad seeds were sown directly into the soil in the greenhouse in September.

The leaves are big enough to be harvested with scissors after about 8-10 weeks.  After cutting, more leaves grow, providing a constant supply of winter salad leaves.

The mix includes leaf Mustards, Golden Streaked and Red, Komatsuna, Mizuna and Sky Rocket. The different shapes, colours and textures of the leaves makes an interesting salad.  Some of the leaves have a peppery taste adding a sharp tang.
