1stop Organic Gardening

Here’s a few photos showing how easy it is to grow a few salad greens in a container that you can bring indoors if the weather turns cold. I grew this container during summer, but you can grow lettuce and other salad greens in cooler weather too, it just takes longer.

Start with a decent size container - it doesn’t need to be deep as you can see from mine.

Use good potting soil and add an organic fertilizer to keep your greens well fed as they grow quite quickly. The photo above shows the seeds germinating, just 3 weeks from being sown.

There are several types of lettuce in this container, radish, rocket and spring onions. This photo was taken about 6 or 7 weeks after the seeds were sown.

I choose to garden organically because I think there are great health benefits and there is little impact on the environment. Give it a try… you’ll have fresh greens, and it looks gorgeous too!

Happy Organic Gardening, Healthy Living…
