Hello there
I am wondering if anyone could please give me some advice about
growing 'cut and come again' salad mixtures? I've not grown any
before and am not a very experienced gardener!
The two seed mixtures that I have contain the following:
Salad Rocket, Chervil, Corn Salad, Red Batavian and Sugar Loaf Chicory
and
Rocket, Sweet Basil, Oak lead Lettuce, Broccoli Raab and Italian Red
Dandelion
I have sown a couple of rows of these seeds which are now coming up
nicely. I know that they can be harvested when they are a few inches
high but do they need to be thinned out in order that each seedling
develops into an individual plant which can then be harvested a few
leaves at a time? Or should the seedlings just be left as they are,
growing in a dense-ish row and cut as required? Or a combination of
the above?
Any help would be gratefully received!
All the best
Ruth
