Home-grown Greens

You don't have to have an actual garden to grow your own veg. I find that even in pots you can maximize yields by underplanting. Here, I've got a San Marzano tomato (still a juvenile) in a strawberry pot. Underneath it, I thickly sowed some mesclun mix. I'll get several batches of salad greens out of it (each batch is enough for 4 good-sized salads) before the tomato takes over.To harvest, just give the greens a snipping with some scissors. They'll set out new leaves in a few weeks.
