I have mixed various varieties, but find that the mixes are very good. I grew some in the greenhouse from Nov onwards. had lovely fresh lettuce and mixed leaves since Christmas. Good luck with them.

Looking good Dave, great idea on doing your own mix.

very good. when do i need to transplant them?? mine about 2cm hight and filling up the pot.

I had a good one called "nice 'n spicey.

Hi Pat, your dead right growing all year round, we grew some last year but not enough, wont make that mistake this year!

Hi Fran, think that would be interesting alright!

Hi Jurga, you can leave them in the same container as long as it has a dept of 5 or 6 inches! if not let them get a bit bigger and plant them into pots in clumps

Hi PCON, how did you find it? have tried a few over the years but have not found anything nutty or spicy enough!

Great idea. I sowed some arctic king outdoors way before christmas, not doing much at all. It has germinated alright but very poor growth so far. Love the mini window boxes. :)

Thought you might like them Jacinta! picked up another 2 since!

Hi Chillipepper. Not quite sure, but think I got them in Homebase. They contained some of those Chinese cabbage, rocket, and ordinary lettuce. Certainly made a nice mix, and grew very easily. I'll look for them again in Homebase.

    Winter gem is my usual winter variety. Also use  all year round, and little gem.

Might try Webb,s wonderful again this year.

Can nearly taste your peppery salad, it's one of the things I have to do as it's great just being able to pick what you need and so inexpensive in comparison to shop bought salads.
