There is a huge variety of salad crops to grow at home and August is an ideal time to sow many of them to boost your salads through fall and winter. A salad bowl can be so much more than limp lettuce leaves that come pre-packed from the grocery stores.
Salad crops with different leaf shapes, textures, colors, and flavors can be planted in August. They are fast-growing crops and can be grown in the ground in a vegetable garden or in containers, opening up the opportunity to grow salad leaves on a deck, patio, or balcony.
