Corn salad

-

(Valerianel­la locusta, lamb’s lettuce) is a hardy winter green. It has a somewhat nutty flavour with a soft, rather than crunchy texture. Use it in winter salads or cooked like spinach. You can grow it as a cut-andcome-again salad green or harvest the whole plant. In either case, successive sowing will ensure a continuous supply.

 ??  ?? Sow seeds of broad beans, cabbages, carrots (in the warmer north), cauliflowe­r, onions, peas, bok choy, silverbeet, and spinach.
