Growing Salad Leaves From Seed: III - Harvesting.
Welcome to the Growing Salad Leaves From Seed step-by-step tutorial.
Expert advice for growing your own salad whether you have a garden or not.
Perfect for beginners and people with some experience, my professional tips will help you get the most out of your seeds.

For fresh home grown salad all summer you can plant up new trays every few weeks for a continual harvest. This is an easy and inexpensive way to have your own organic salad for a fraction of the price of shop bought. One packet of seeds should last the entire summer and you can wash and re-use the trays between each crop.
This project should be carried out between May and August when the weather is warm, as seeds need warmth and good day-length to germinate.

      They will be fine. Instructions are usually for planting in a larger area in soil. If you follow my guidelines on planting in a large pot you should have no problems.

      I usually use 20 litre pots. It’s one plant per cane so they have a firm framework to climb up. The plants can get quite heavy when the beans are growing. Good luck x
