:idea:  :?: I want to use some space freed up from the potato patch.

Is there a nice type of green lettuce I could plant now :?:

[GafferGamgee]

I have just (Sunday) put in a row of "Miluna" and a row of "Lakeland"
I hope they will be OK...?

[Ice]

I have a small row of mature Cos, a row of half mature and a row just planted.  They are incredible.  The Baby Gem have bolted I think.

[Aidy]

I love little gem and webs wonder, normally stand well for a while, but like Ice my gems have bolted with this weather.

[Ice]

Yeah Aidy, less Baby Gem, more big bad momma gem. :cry:

cut and come agains are always worth a go - only take 3 weeks or so to grow first time up - the more you pick the more they grow - i've never had a bolter yet

So has mine  :!:

[apes1978]

so has mine, and all my spinach!

[polly tunnel]

So has mine! Rocket, Spinach and frissee lettuce :cry:

[wellingtons]

... any lettuce that takes your fancy!

I like to have a variety of leaves so I can pick a bag of mixed salad.  But for green stuff I like baby spinach leaves, rocket, lollo bionda and salad bowl

If you want to pick a green lettuce you could try butterhead fatima (kinda bolt resistant) or romaine if you don't want the little gem or webbs wonderful.

You can also plant things like pak choi which are good in salads when the leaves are young.  I planted them this year for the first time and they're off like a ... well ... rocket ...  

Don't forget you can harvest things like the leaves of beetroot for extra variety in the salad department ...

Yes I use pak choi as a green vegetable, lightly steamed its gorgeous and really quick and easy to grow.
