early salads

[Rocket Science]

Hi Kate, just to make clear, the only seeds i germinated on the heat mat were toms, chilis, aubergines and peppers this year. All early salads will be started off in an unheated greenhouse at the garden. My first sowings in late January will be Lettuce, Red Knight Mizuna, Kyoto Mizuna, Pea shoots, Wild Rocket, Claytonia and Orache, all in modules or for picking out into modules, all planted in the tunnel except the lettuce. Mid Feb onwards, Spinach, Boltardy for leaves, more Pea shoots and Orache, Sorrel, Parsley etc, all for outside apart from boltardy as leaf quality is much better in the tunnel. Hope this helps a bit! Not long until it all starts again!! Have a look in Charles’s Salad Leaves for all seasons p.168- this will be helpful i think.
