I was in Lidl yesterday and they had the packs of growing salad
reduced to 45p so I bought a pack, brought it home and split it out
into 12 sections and planted up one of the pot carying trays that
holds 12 4 inch pots, just filled it with compost and planted into it,
no pots.
It will be interesting to see what they make in 2 or 3 weeks,
Looking at the plants it looks as if you could break the pack right
down and plant out the lettuce etc in 2's and 3's into the open ground
a bit later in the season. Might just try it.

Tesco remainders veg stuff just before I go home from work and I call in.
I always rescue the growing herbs which are flopping as no one has watered
them for ages. They are available for 35p and will be OK when I plant them
once they've had a good drink. I have a seriously ill curled parsley
recovering in my sink as we speak.
It will be fine I think, but if it doesn't it was worth 35p to try.

All my baby basil plants have flopped and looking decidedly ropey. :-(
They're not under or over watered, so all I can think of is that they must
have caught the cold overnight, especially now the heating isn't on in the
house.

Mine seemed to be growing quite well in the greenhouse

Well a month later and I have lots and lots of fresh salad. I have
kept them in the greenhouse and will buy them again,,
