Cut and come again salad plants?

3.6K Posts


I've thought about it but pre covid the supermarket did organic salad leaves that were delicious so didn't bother battling slugs in the garden.
This year and last these aren't stocked just masses of tasteless and an aray of wilting bagged stuff. Even the whole lettuce lacks flavour.
Can you recommend some that I could grow for cutting once or twice a week, preferably that I can grow in a pot or trough as I'm short of space?

I can look at what else I've got in the garden tomorrow and list those off, I can't find the empty packets to tell you now.
The mustard one didn't taste of it.

Everything homegrown tastes of something. It's worth experimenting as there may be a new taste or even something normally avoided which tastes totally different as it's not quickly force grown.

I usually slip in several different types of seeds, fruit / veg / salad. Gives me the option of having the following years ready, sharing some or getting sow happy 😀
Anything you've got at home or in the garden can probably be repurposed. An off cut of guttering, plastic crate, bucket, £1 supermarket bag etc drill / cut drainage holes in and instantly there's another growing space.
Let us know how you get on.
