I'll see how a windowsill sowing fares...<br /><br />Starting the <i>52 Week Salad Challenge in January</i> has shown it's never too late to start and there's lots you can do over the winter to have fresh leaves. My Page in the sidebar has lots of info to get you started should you need it :)<br /><br />Andrea - it's always good to hear from you, even if it's just a quick update in the comments :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-85709710901257786122012-09-08T13:20:33.004+01:002012-09-08T13:20:33.004+01:00Woops where did the weeks go......

Yesterday i planted out my Mizuna seedlings which i grew in my cold frame over the last couple of weeks of winter, an interesting crop I like it in stir fry too.<br />Wow a frost already, good luck getting those salad seedlings moving. <br />Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16309666420472665198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-60934587602142671142012-09-03T10:02:01.539+01:002012-09-03T10:02:01.539+01:00I just found my mustard "green in snow" ...I just found my mustard "green in snow" seeds, which has to be worth a go. Now that I have been re-united with my seed trays and modules I am going to try sowing for leaves in the greenhouse too. I've missed so much of the growing season, having some leaves to pick would be wonderful.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-22034107459156967612012-09-02T09:02:50.511+01:002012-09-02T09:02:50.511+01:00Donna - sounds good.

I'm especially intrigued by your basement efforts :)<br /><br />Naomi - like gardeningbren I haven't come across 'Red Knight' before. I must investigate!<br /><br />Bren - will investigate Balncoma on my return from holiday :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-59422699486323157672012-09-01T00:25:14.921+01:002012-09-01T00:25:14.921+01:00Timely post.

It's been so hot, but the evenings now are cooling (blue moon tonight) so fingers crossed all will germinate and once I put the cold frame over it all, later on, we should have greens into the coldest months.<br /><br />Bulls Blood is a favourite of ours in our Nova Scotia garden...the flavor is exceptional, as well as the texture. You won't be disappointed. Blancoma also has lovely leaves. Good additions in a Ceasar salad and in fact, in a pinch, a good substitute when one doesn't have those lovely romaines.<br /><br />outofmyshed sounds like she has it together..some good stalwarts there.Intrigued by the red knight mizuna...must look for that.Have only grown a green variety.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-10878545466099366972012-08-31T12:58:04.983+01:002012-08-31T12:58:04.983+01:00Hi Michelle, I'm really going to experiment wi...Hi Michelle, I'm really going to experiment with lettuces and other leaves that can survive outdoors over winter in London this year too. I'm just about to sow lots of mustard leaves, including 'Green in Snow ' and 'Red Knight' mizuna. I have some 'Freckles' lettuce seedlings to go in the ground to see how well they fare later in the year and also will be sowing 'Merveille de Quatre Saisons' and 'Valdor' butterhead lettuces.

We should be cooling down now some in a normal year. I sowed fall lettuces a couple of weeks ago for our climate and hope to keep them under a row cover as they are planted in bags on the patio...then I will also plant some under lights on the basement after Christmas...love the challenge.Donna@Gardens Eye Viewhttp://gardenseyeview.comnoreply@blogger.com
