Once you have a survival garden established, you shouldn’t have to ever buy salad greens again. You might, like me, still plant some annuals like lettuce & rocket at the right time of year, but your survival plants will soon become your staple salad leaves. One of the very best things about these plants is that they produce abundantly in summer – a time where many annual salad greens won’t grow.
Raw food is king for nutrition, and if you pick your leaves from your garden you can be eating it in a salad within 10 minutes – you don’t get much more raw than that!
Experiment yourself, but I like to collect a little bit of everything for my salads, and that automatically changes throughout the year. Some become more abundant & others dies down or wither dependent on what the weather’s doing.
