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.

Crunchy and delicious radishes are now ready to pick from this year’s brassica bed at the community garden.
Simply pull up, wash, remove the leaves, and eat fresh.
They can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
The RHS website says:
“Salad radishes are quick and easy to grow from seed, ready to eat in as little as four weeks. These compact plants can be grown in even the smallest of spaces and are great gap-fillers on the veg plot. Sow small batches every few weeks to add a crunchy kick to salads in late spring and summer. “
The garden is located at the bottom of Berner’s Drive, St Albans. Next to the playarea.
Please walk or cycle there is possible.
