Job of the week

Plant out lettuce

There's no secret to growing salad crops - just keep planting a little and often and you'll guarantee yourself continuous fresh leaves to add crunch and flavour to your meals. Homegrown salads are tastier, too, than anything you'll find in a supermarket bag, and when you grow organically, you have no worries about exactly what you and your family are eating. Best of all, it's quick and easy.
