I always seem to leave it too late to sow anything for winter salad. What sort of stuff is worth growing and when do you sow it. I have a greenhouse to give it some shelter.

I usually leave it until September then sow a winter salad mix. Sowing early doesn’t have any benefits as it is too warm and they bolt.

The ones I favour are a mixture of the milder kinds of mustard greens. They grow fast and are hardy so can last as cut and come again salad leaves until the spring.

It is worth sowing a big pot of chervil as well. It is a refreshing herb that can perk up a supermarket lettuce or salad bag.

Start spinach and lettuce seedlings to plant out and grow over the winter. You can grow these in your greenhouse, or outdoors.  Two years ago, we had winter cold snaps as low as -14°C, lettuce and spinach survived that with no problems, I just covered the rows with poly tarp during the worst of it. They seem to tolerate -4 or -5 °C with no protection (my experience).

This is from an old 2015 thread, dated 14th July, but worth reposting, I think.

I sow lettuce and endives right at the end of August and mustards, pak choi etc first week of September. That's in modules and they'll go into the groundnin the greenhouse when i remove the tomatoes at the end of september or start of october
