    What about pak choi and that sort of thing. You can get seed mixes of chinese greens for winter salads. There's also rainbow chard which you can eat the stems as a veg and the leaves as a salad (tho I haven't tried it myself!) Also lambs lettuce - easily grown from seed. Just google them

    Kale does ok as well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    Get hold of Charles Dowding's latest book from the library; it has loads of ideas.
