Grow your own food, week 8 - lettuce, lettuce, lettuce
Get my drift from the title of this blog? May is the time to go to town on your salad.
Sow a little at a time every couple of weeks over the summer to ensure a constant supply.
Varieties? Any that take your fancy in the garden centre.
How? In trays, pots, straight into the ground (to grow up into fully-fledged lettuce) or as cut and come again - see my original blog on the subject.
And if you're having your doubts, just see what I grew with students in the gardening club at our local school (pictured). If kids can do it, no excuses from you.
