Concentric circles of lettuce and radish alternate in a rhythm anchored by a showstopping shrub rose with magenta-to-pink blooms and petals that make a gorgeous jam or salad addition. Succession plantings keep the harvest rolling all summer long.
The supporting cast brings serious personality: brussels sprouts that deepen in flavor with the first fall frost, kale, sweet anise-flavored tarragon, and spicy wild arugula — all balanced by two lettuce varieties bringing crunch and sweetness to the party.
Sharp edges from incised leaves and rose thorns. Sharp taste from spicy, bitter and sweet flavors playing beautifully together. 9 plant varieties, roughly 40 plants total — succession planted for a summer that never runs out of salad.
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.
