Mixed salad leaves are now ready to pick from the raised beds at the Berners Drive community garden.
Snip or pinch off a few of the bigger, outer leaves on each plant to leave the centre continuing to grow. Wash before eating.
They can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
The RHS website says:
“Salad leaves can be ready to harvest almost all year round if you sow small batches regularly and choose suitable varieties for colder weather.”
The garden is located at the bottom of Berner’s Drive, St Albans. Next to the playarea.
Please walk or cycle there is possible.
Spinach leaves are now ready to pick from the raised beds at the Berners Drive community garden.
Snip or pinch off a few of the bigger, outer leaves on each plant to leave the centre continuing to grow. Wash before eating.
They can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
The RHS website says:
“Spinach is tasty, nutritious and easy to grow. You can even enjoy harvests all year round if you grow several different types. Winter cultivars need a sunny position, while summer varieties benefit from a little shade. “
The garden is located at the bottom of Berner’s Drive, St Albans. Next to the playarea.
Please walk or cycle there is possible.
