Salad Leaves 'Speedy' (Start-A-Garden™ Range)

Where to sow: Best sown thinly in a pot on the windowsill regularly from October to February for fresh leaves all year round or can be direct sown outdoors.
Preparation: Indoors - fill a pot or pots with good seed sowing compost. Outdoors - prepare the soil by raking until it is fine and crumbly, removing any large stones.
Sowing: Sow very thinly outdoors, 1cm (1/2in) deep in drills 7.5cm (3in) apart or in pots. Thin seedlings if necessary, when large enough to handle, to 1cm (1/2in) apart.
Growing: Keep weed free and water well during dry periods. Harvest baby salad leaves as required, by picking a few leaves from each plant.

Water salad leaves regularly. Dry weather may cause plants to bolt so watering is particularly critical. Harvest baby salad leaves when required by picking a few leaves from each plant.
