I only eat leaf lettuce when I make myself some sandwiches, DH and DD also have no love. But I still grow them - 10% purple-color leaf lettuce and 90% Romaine lettuce. Romaine lettuce is more welcome, as I can always pan-fry them with high heat for 15-20 seconds.@Phaedra Geiermann , I was thinking about you. I realized that I shouldn't grow leaf lettuce bc my family won't eat it. So, I am thinking about asian greens, like boy choy and others. It looks like you have grown them.
What can you tell me about them? Thx!!![]()
Asian greens are my major leaf crops, but I grew up with them. If you want to try Asian greens, it might be an idea to get some from the store and try them with your family. If there is anything you all show the green light, you can find the seeds for planting.
Most of them can crop in a few weeks - either as salad greens or you harvest the outer leaves gradually.
They are pretty shade-tolerate, or I should say, they prefer staying where without high temperature. So, spring and autumn are the best timing for them.
