Spring salads ~ 19/4/2016

Get a big sack type planter for your greenhouse or conservatory; fill it with some lovely growing media of your choice (I use good quality multipurpose compost mixed with some delicious homemade compost) and sow yourself some salad crops. 

I am currently enjoying small harvests of salad bowl lettuce, lollo rosso lettuce, coriander and beautiful, shiny, red radishes. It is so, so worth the effort if you have the space and the facilities. I mean, look at these stunners.....

What are you waiting for?! Wide reaching frosts have been forecast for this coming weekend so I am delaying planting out or sowing anything remotely tender outside but I am not at all displeased because I have my radishes. (#annoyinglysmug)
