With the popularity of the 100 mile diet, followed the 100 metre diet and now the 10-metre diet… the patio diet…you can grow virtually a whole salad on your patio or deck table!
You can find 'cut and come again' leaf lettuce and mesclun varieties of greens that will grow in a sunny place in your yard.
Just water and clip your salad greens as needed. Note that you can only get a 'crop' from your growing salad bowl for four to six weeks at which time you will want to replace the soil and re sow fresh seed of your choice.
Cool!
Also popular and new this year is the 'pizza garden' -- a great tomato plant, basil and herbs all in one pot. Put it on a sunny patio and pick as your harvest ripens
