Winter salad leaves are excellent value, especially oriental varieties  and they should be sown, now, in the autumn. These cut-and-come-again salad leaves can be grown outside in the vegetable garden, in tubs or in  window boxes. They grow well in the cooler temperatures and lower light  levels of autumn.

Salad leaves to sow in autumn are:

Rocket –  small, mild tender leaves

Land Cress – Variegated Winter –  crisp & tangy

Mizuna – good taste & crunchy stem

This patch of Mustard – variety Mizuna – is doing well in Yorkshire. The  center leaves are cut out with scissors, & provide fresh winter salad leaves with a bite!  It is a good winter salad to sow in autumn.
