Your post gives me a bit of hope and motivation. I really don’t feel safe buying salad greens from the store anymore, but my thumb is all black——there isn’t a plant I can’t kill, lol.
Maybe I’ll try something in a container.
Throw turnip, onion or lettuce seeds out every couple weeks and you’ll have a good crop nearly all year- unless you mow them!
You can just tear off the greens of the turnips and lettuce (well, the ‘open’ lettuce like romaine) whenever you want, onions don’t much care when they’re picked either.
It’s the ease and convenience of gardening that appeals to me.
On the subject of this post- I wash them outside under the spigot to keep from bringing bugs into the house. I learned that quick.
