There’s only one thing I love more than eating salad and that’s growing salad greens. Even though the property where I live is too polluted to grow food on (a buried heating-oil tank leaked more than 50 years ago), we have several containers that we grow salad greens in. I recently went through my seed packets and noticed we’ve accumulated over 20 varieties of lettuce seeds. It’s pretty cool that we’ve begun to grow things that we definitely can’t get at the grocery store or have a slim chance of even finding at the farmers’ market.
