I've had the first salad of the year out of the garden 😀 The tomatoes aren't ours yet, but all the green stuff is. These are all from perennial plants, so I didn't have to plant anything new this year, but I did have to wait until the plants were growing again--the sweet cicely and wild garlic only recently re-emerged from underground, and everything else was focussed on just hanging on through the winter until it began to leaf out again this month.

In this bowl, wild garlic, perennial onion leaves, wasabi leaves, sweet cicely, perennial kale, wild rocket, sorrel, fennel, salad burnet, chard, mint and marjoram.

No more plastic wrapped salads that go off before you're half way through them!

Last year we stopped harvesting salad stuff at the end of November, but I only have one of each type of plant at present, so I bet I can close that gap a bit as I add this year's crop of seedlings.
