salad trough

Plenty of salad there then Richard.

Yes thanks Cinderella it is growing well now and we are eating it :-)

It made me hungry Richard. A good source of vit A and C as well.

Is there Lollo Rossa lettuce to the left, Richard? We have some growing in a pot, just cut some as required and it grows some more! : o ))

Yes Camillia I always grow salads here in the trough it is easy to harvest at waist height too. I have chives in there too which I cut up and put on salads too.

It is Lollo Rosso Shirley, I just snip off as much as I want and leave the rest in there to grow on too.

Brilliant variety to have . . . .

Thanks Shirley I am also growing Rocket too. I also have a piece of spare troughing attached to the side of my shed that is planted up with mixed salad leaves :-)

Lovely selection of salad there Richard. My salad did better last year in a trough, than they did in the garden.

it looks really preety too ........... i grow mine in a raised bed , tastes so much nicer

I use this trough every year Linda but change the compost in there every other year. I enjoy watching it grow (and eating it ) :-)

Yes Cristina I find it grows better in the trough as the slugs and snails find it difficult to get in there :-)))

i still put slug killer round mine ..... yuk

They are a perishing nuisance aren't they Cris..the slugs and snails...

very healthy, veggies!

Thank you Junna glad you like them :-)

yes, i like it so much Richardpeeej, i freshly eat that kind of veggies, very delicious and very healthy at the same time .

I have learned not to plant them all at the same time Junna as it is better to have one or two lettuce a week rather than having them all ready at once ...haha!
