Salad Garden

Salad-lovers will appreciate the varied flavors, colors and textures that this plot provides. These plants depend on constant moisture to thrive, so keep the soil slightly moist at all times. Harvest lettuces and arugula leaves from the plants outer edges, and the inner foliage will continue to produce. Enjoy young beet greens fresh in a salad or quickly saut them along with the broccoli rabe. Harvest the beets when they are 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Other vegetables such as cauliflower and sugar snap peas can be shaved and served raw or lightly steamed for warm salads or healthy side dishes.
