An excellent crisp vegetable which will liven up salads. Eaten green, the leaves are a little bitter, but blanched for a few days they develop a milder taste. Try as an interesting alternative to lettuce. For best results sow in a well drained soil, or soil that has been enriched and broken up by the addition of organic matter.
