Sow seeds thinly 13mm (0.5in) deep, cover with soil and water in well. Sow in short rows every fortnight or so, enough for your needs, to have a continuous crop. Grow some in containers on the windowsill to have them ready at your finger tips - and at times when it may be too cold outside. Most salad leaves can also be grown in small pots, window boxes, growing bags or planters. During hot, sunny summers, they may do better in light shade.īefore sowing, improve the soil with some organic matter to improve water holding and add a dressing of a general granular plant food. Most salad leaves prefer an open, sunny position, although they will tolerate light shade.
