Salad Plants
Starting your own salad garden means that you’ve got fresh and healthy ingredients when you need them, just steps away from your kitchen. All of our salad plants are sustainably grown in the UK without chemical pest control methods, so that you can be confident of getting healthier and tastier salads, juices, smoothies and crunchy snacks when you need them. No more washing pesticide residue off your lettuce, or soggy spring onions lurking in the bottom of the fridge - with our easy to grow lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and more, you’ll never buy a bag of chlorine-dipped leaves again.
Which salad plants should I choose?
How to choose what salad to grow? Should you focus on lettuce, cucumber, carrots, beets, tomatoes, herbs or leafy greens? The simple answer is grow them all, but if you’re a little pushed for space, the good news is that lots of crops, like tomatoes, spring onions, little gem lettuce and kale can all be grown successfully in pots. Group your salad pots on your patio or on a sunny windowsill, in raised beds or in a border with your dahlias - or if you really can’t decide, go for one of our ready made bundles.
Growers' tips
Salad crops are quick to grow and many can be harvested as ‘cut and come again’ leaves, including spinach, kale and lettuce. Just cut what you need on a daily basis and leave the rest to keep growing - you can’t get fresher than that. The main things to watch out for with salad plants are watering - too much and it can rot, too little and you run the risk of the plants bolting - and pest control. Unfortunately slugs find those leaves as tasty as we do, so you’ll need to protect young plants with cloches, cold frames or just constant vigilance.
Using your salad plants
If you love salad (and who doesn’t love salad?) you’ll want to establish a good rotation of tasty recipes and combinations to keep it fresh. Try fattoush with chickpeas, tempeh salad with plums, cobb salad or a kale, spinach and tofu combo for starters. Even better, invent your own, market it worldwide and be more famous than Caesar (whoever he was).
