Salad Experiment #2: Sharp Edges and Sharp Taste, Size: 60” round plus space for rose, zone: 4-7, sun exposure: full sun/part shade, water level: 3 raindrops

$15.00

Concurrent circles of alternating lettuce and radish, anchored by a shrub rose. Succession plantings provide enough plants for a summer of salads, and a cool combo of brussels sprouts, tarragon and red kale add interest and a variety of tastes. Sharp edges come from incised leaves and rose thorns, sharp taste from slightly bitter and spicy flavors, like arugula, balanced by sweeter mild lettuce selections.

9 different plants, roughly 40 plants total +/-.

Some recipe ideas:

  • Salads, obviously, lol, lots of leaves to choose from, at different stages of growth.

  • Rose or tarragon tea.

  • Brussels sprouts sauteed in sweet chili sauce.

  • Open faced sandwiches with sliced radishes, unsalted butter and a sprinkle of salt.
