Now the warmer weather is here it is time to move up a gear with our growing. This time I have direct sown our salad mix into one of the outside beds rather than the poly tunnel. Densely packed rows of Mizuna, Rocket, Red Russian Kale, Giant Red Mustard and Golden Frills Mustard will go nicely with true Spinach, Leaf Beet and mixed lettuces in our salad mix. All being well these crops will be in the shop in 4-5 weeks.
The Earthway Seeder in the picture allows me to pack in seven rows of baby leaf salad into a 30 inch bed. It is a very fast and efficient way to sow rows of seeds quickly.
