I really needed some fresh air this afternoon after being couped up in my office so off to the potting table! I try to plant out successive crops every 4 – 6 weeks especially lettuce and broccoli as we never have a need to buy these now. In fact, I haven’t bought lettuce for almost two years!
I bought some endive seeds yesterday as I’ve never tried growing them and wanted to try something new.
So here we have:
- Yates Lettuce - Brown Mignonette
- Yates Lettuce - Frilly Mix
- Yates Lettuce - Great Lakes Iceberg
- Yates Endive - Green Curled
- Yates Radicchio
- Yates Broccoli - Summer Harvest
- Yates Chinese Cabbage - Wombok
- Yates Chinese Cabbage - Pak Choi
- Yates Spinach - Summer Supreme
I find this a far more economical way growing from seed and it only takes me about 10 minutes from start to finish as I’m super organised now! I read recently that lettuce seeds can last for up to 3 years. When you consider it costs slightly less for a pack of seeds than a whole iceberg lettuce at the moment – it makes sense to grow from seed! And if we can’t eat them fast enough, I just give these away to friends and family.
