Corn Salad - Valerianella olitoria
Corn salad is often known as Lamb's Lettuce and there are several good improved cultivated forms.
Easily grown, it is a useful substitute for lettuce during the winter. This crop can very well follow early potatoes, peas or broccoli and the drills should be made 18 mm deep and 30cm apart.
The plants are not unlike the Forget-me-Not but without the blue flowers. An excellent cloche crop, it can be eaten either raw or cooked. Sowings can be made at intervals throughout the summer which will provide supplies from autumn until spring. The young plants should be thinned out so there is 15cm between them.
