7. Harvest and Enjoy
When your greens are about 3–4 inches tall, start harvesting! Use scissors to snip the outer leaves while leaving the center intact. This method allows the plant to keep producing new leaves, so you’ll have fresh greens for weeks.

6. Find the Perfect Spot
Salad greens love cooler temperatures and partial sunlight. Place your container where it will get 4–6 hours of morning sun. If you’re in a hotter climate, provide shade during the afternoon to keep your greens from wilting or bolting (going to seed).

5. Water Gently
Mist the soil lightly after planting to avoid washing the seeds away. Keep the soil consistently moist (but not soggy). A spray bottle or watering can with a gentle spout works best. Germination usually takes 7–10 days, so be patient and check the soil daily.

4. Sow the Seeds
Sprinkle seeds lightly on the soil surface, keeping them about 1/2 inch apart. Cover with a thin layer of soil—around 1/4 inch is enough. Don’t worry too much about spacing; greens like to grow close together. Plus, you can always thin them out as they grow.

3. Fill It with Soil
Use a high-quality potting mix (I like the brand foxfarm). For an extra nutrient boost, mix in a handful of compost or worm castings. Moisture-retaining potting mixes are also a great option to help keep the soil evenly damp.

2. Grab a Container
Any container will do as long as it has drainage holes. Look for containers that are at least 6–8 inches deep. You can get creative with what you use: old tubs, storage bins, baskets lined with plastic, or even repurposed wooden crates. Gardening doesn’t have to break the bank.

1. Choose Your Greens
For a well-rounded salad garden, grow a variety of greens like kale, Swiss chard, Bibb lettuce, arugula, or Mesclun mix. These greens grow quickly and are nutrient-rich. Many are cut-and-come-again, so they’ll keep producing after you harvest.
