Container Gardening: Growing Salad Bowls

For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, please visit http://cookingupastory.com Local farmers Joan and Ron Baune make these Salad Bowls to sell at the Portland Farmers Market for those folks who don't have the space to grow their own. In this video Joan shows you how to do it and Ron talks about how easy they are to care for and harvest. BTW, they make great gifts, too!

$20 is an awesome price for that many plants and the doin' being done for you. I love this!!!

[cookingupastory]

Thanks @happyhobofilms - I feel the same way. =D

I have a question, can you eat the salad bowls when all the plants on them are fully grown or are the salad bowls just there to look pretty? please reply back

[cookingupastory]

@Pikachucute123ful I wouldn't try eating them in the bowl they're grown in - but, yes!, eat the different greens as they mature. You don't necessarily cut off the whole head (depends on variety you're growing), but you can snip at the larger leaves on the outside. Wash, place in serving bowl, and add some other yummy stuff - or eat plain! It looks beautiful *and* it's edible! I thot they had a great idea all around. =)

@cookingupastory

Wow thanks! I didn't know for sure if it was edible or not, i will try to make one of my own!

I'd say the "fail" is yours since you're stupidity seems to be timeless.

Good job on the video. I like the idea of being able to keep the lettuce going for a long time. Mine got bitter in July when they were too large. Do you re-plant in the summer as well?
