Vegetables for salad
At Premier Seeds Direct, we believe that there is nothing more rewarding than growing fresh, crisp vegetables straight from your garden. Salad has never been fresher than when it's homegrown!
Free from pesticides and preservatives, growing from seed produces a tasty supply that is readily available throughout the season.
It can also be a great activity for children to get stuck in with gardening, identify vegetable varieties, and encourage healthy eating habits.
Growing salad from seed can be achieved in the garden, or indoors. For those with limited outside space, mixed leaves are perfect for growing on windowsills, providing regular harvests to enjoy. By cutting the younger leaves, the lettuce will continue to grow and supply fresh salad for many weeks.
