Serve
home grown salads
with tender salad leaves, cucumber, beetroot, tomato, radish, and
green beans. The
organic
salad
garden will brighten up your garden and supply you with
ample
salad. Salad plants included with the garden are
simple to grow and
require no
gardening experience. If you're unsure about any
aspect of
growing your salad garden, free guidance is available online at the
Rocket Gardens website.
Your vegetables will delivered as baby plants that can be planted
almost immediately. Because they're established and around
10cm
tall, it's easy to pick out any weeds that shoot up around your baby
plants. When the salad is ready for harvest, you'll be able to
conjure fresh dishes in your
kitchen
with produce picked from your garden that day. The salad garden
includes enough plants for six to ten square metres of
vegetable patch,
containers,
growbags, or window boxes.
The salad garden includes the following organic baby plants:
- Rocket x 20
- Mizuna x 20
- Mixture of lettuces x 30
- Dwarf French Green Beans x 8
- Beetroot x 10
- Mixed tomato plants x 5
- Cucumber x 3
- Rainbow Chard x 6
- Spinach x 10
- Spring onions x 20
- Giant red mustard x 10
- 1 pack radish seeds
A Brilliant Gift
Garden vouchers are available for order all year round – so
you can
give the salad garden as a gift at any time of year. The
salad
garden makes a perfect birthday, Christmas, or wedding gift for anyone
who likes good food, gardening, or who cares about the environment.
Eco-Friendly Food
All plants are
seasonally
and
organically grown in Cornwall according to strict Soil
Association standards. No artificial heat, chemical
pesticides,
fertilisers, or sprays are used in growing.
No plastics or non-compostable packaging will be included with your
salad garden. The vegetables you grow will of course have no
packaging – a huge environmental benefit considering that two
thirds of
household waste in the UK is packaging.
Why is organic, home-grown food good for you?
Organic food grown in your own garden is the healthiest and most
environmentally-friendly food
you
can get. Home grown organic veg has zero food miles, and is
not
laced with chemical pesticides and fertiliser.
Vegetables picked and eaten when they're fully ripe contain the maximum
possible amount of nutrients and have a superior taste.
Supermarket suppliers harvest vegetables pre-ripe, and there can be
days or weeks between when the vegetables are harvested and when you
eat them. Every day between harvesting and cooking, valuable
nutrients and taste are lost.
