mrsbrownA while ago splodgenoodles gave me a present. and today I planted all the winter suitable salad leaf seeds that were left.
I've had this empty patch burning a hole in my gardening subconscious, so today I marked up some rows and sprinkled one of each variety in each row. That's about 8 different types of leaves. They were useby Dec 2010 so it seemed the only sensible thing to do with them. "When" they all come up I'll thin them and eat the thinnings. And hopefully, I'll get sick of the sight of green leaves and give some away.
For the record, I also planted some broccoli seedlings and peas and I need to find a spot for the seakale and perpetual spinach.
