How about trying Italian arugula and some purple Orach. The arugula is slow
to bolt even in hot summers. I like the ones I can keep picking all season
so I usually get the non-head forming types. I love greens and enjoy the
spicy ones. French Sorrel tatses lemony and is great for soups and sauces
for seafood. Do you know salad burnet? It tastes like cucumbers and it's
frilly and fun. I like the Territorial seed company that has a huge
selection of interesting ones. It's been good seed for me.

We are planning on planting vegetables again this summer now that our dogs
are older and will leave the plot alone. We live in the Niagara, Canada
area - very hot and humid summers (it's a fruit belt region) and very cold
winters.

I am looking for advice on growing different greens - specifically for
salads, like the Spring Mix they sell at the grocery stores. I am only
familiar with the usual run of the mill greens like iceberg, romaine,
etc.,
but would love some ideas as to what would make a great "salad greens"
garden.

Thanks very much,
Rachel.
