Salad leaves, from my former supplier

We used to get a monthly organic box until DH decreed that we could not afford it. I now have raised beds in the back garden, thanks to the aforementioned DH's intensive labour, and this year we once again have home-grown produce. (Last year we had one raised bed, and I was quite tardy getting anything in, but we still had some stuff. But also a couple of spectacular failures, including three brassicas which produced one tiny head and attracted a swarm of cabbage moths that ate everything.) Having been made redundant two months ago, I have a little more time (but not much, I still have to find my next job!) to devote to the garden. I know from past experience what produces the most for the least effort - rocket, salad leaves, chard, courgettes, radishes, not necessarily in that order. This year's new experiments, only marginally more successful than the previous ones, include sunflowers (mainly as a companion plant, and a gift to the birds), comfrey (maybe more on that later), chamomile (again to attract bees and repel pests as well as getting a couple cups of tea out of the bargain) and tomatoes and peppers (no fruit yet, but then they haven't died either.) Anyway, the link above is very informative on salad leaves.
