With the poor weather and the general lack of time, I have had little

times, I have noticed some plants growing in a straight line where I
sowed half of a packet of mixed lettuce leaves.

You have a few weeds in there Cath but I can also see some rocket, so
pick out those and you will have a nice salad.

It looks very much like a packet of mixed salad such as those sold by
T&M or Chiltern. There's something which looks like radish tops (????
rocket) and some cabbagy type leaves, which seem to be the things that
grow best from such mixes.

You also seem to have clover and grass, which i wouldn't eat ;-)
The flat chervil type leaves could be chervil, but I have a nasty
suspicion form what seems to be markings on them that they might be
buttercup - again, not to be eaten if they are buttercup.

I suspect it's best to grow mixes like this in compost rather than
garden soil if you're going to use as a 'cut and come again' crop, so
that you can be sure that everything in the mix is meant to be there.


thank you Judith and K.
I *know* that I have a few weeds there. In fact, I took infinite
precautions to minimise the numbers actually showing on the pic ;-)
And yes there are some creeping buttercups in there.
You guys are far too eagle eyed.

Thanks again!
