Radishes and lettuce catch-cropping

While I was away and meeting other bloggers at the gardening spring show in Malvern, my radishes and lettuce were growing really fast. Planted in container 5 weeks ago, pretty thick in rows 10 cm away. Catch-cropping means you sow at the same time vegetables that grow in different speed. In this case after I pick all radish, lettuce will have enough space to grow.
Catch-cropping - radishes and lettuce.
