january salads

The new salad bed was established in the summer and is still going strong. Rocket has flourished during the mild winter and salad leaves and spring onions are doing well. Herbs and salads like a regular trim to keep them bushy and to encourage new growth. If you look carefully, you can spot one of my trained team of garden assistants who is pecking the tops off the rocket to ensure that we get the bushy growth we need.
We will leave to one side the tell tale muddy footprints that stretch across the paved area from a planter that has been thoroughly 'checked' during routine maintenance!
