Well pop a few tortoise weed seeds in a pot on your windowsill and they should be up in about a week, meantime it will have to be fourleaf salad bag from supermarket and a punnet of growing cress. Needs must......my Annabel had 3 sugarsnap peas and a small bunch of watercress today...........as my pots of seeds were outside and with temperatures of minus 4, they have withered and died.......more planted today in the porch, as it gets the sun. Regards, K | |

In addition to what kohimagirl has said, the best bagged salad to get is florette crispy salad. I'm having to feed mine bagged salad at the minute, the one thing to remember is to rotate different mixes, so that they still get a bit of variety. | |

Hi Romaine or kos lettuce is good if you are stuck, more goodness in it than iceberg :) Try to steer clear of the brassica's ie cabbage, cauliflower leaves etc, all the best Arlene TPG | |
