I am trying to grow some extra salad crops this year in the new greenhouse. Especially hardy ones that will take me into the winter and make supermarket lettuce more interesting. So I have from top left, Salad Burnett and Chives, with bottom row Basil and some seeds of both lettuce and Wild Rocket, Diplotaxis tenuifolia which differs from the common Garden Rocket, Eruca in being a perennial rather than a short live annual and should stand through the winter. I hope I have the correct thing , because it is further complicate by the American Wild Rocket which I think you call Arugula.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Basil is common here as is now an old Lancashire favourite watercress - much resorted to in the hard times like seaweed was harvested from the Scottish long meadows in the clearing times.
Here in Australia the supermarkets are full of highly priced & by the time they get to the table fairly tasteless lettuce substitute. Here's an article on alternatives, beet probably being the most common.

Sounds like a good plan. I hope it works out because nothing better than fresh greens!

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
