Mini Cos Lettuce​

I love growing my mini cos lettuce in pots. This way I can move them if there's not enough sun or it's too hot for them.
Just cut off some leaves for a sandwich or a salad, and they keep growing new leaves.

I have a couple of normal cos lettuce, but much prefer the mini one, only because it doesn't have the sap on the ends like the normal ones.

I find they are also much tender.

I also have heaps of rocket growing and mixed baby lettuce. It's so good mixing them altogether.

I also have alot of herbs which I add to everything

Yes, both mini and normal cos are nice. Herbs are also handy.
All great for summer.
I grow leeks and spring onions too.

Hello ,
Did you grow these from seeds, or buy small plants?
I really want to grow my vegies, from scraps. Ie. Leeks, spring onions, celery, etc. I don't know of any others.
CAn anyone advise?

They are pretty easy to grow from seeds . We usually grow from tiny plants as they grow faster.
When you buy large punnets you get alot in them.
Make sure you prepare your soil before hand . Plant in a sunny position . We also place mulch around the plants as it helps to keep them moist.

It's also easy to grow vegetables in pots.

When I've used shallots, we replant the bottoms if their are roots on them

Thank you so much for your reply. These tips will help. If it ever warms up here in regional Victoria I will start a grow shed under plastic bags.
