For leafy salads, arugula is VERY easy to grow--if I can grow it, anyone can--if you plant it at the right time, that is. Same with cilantro. Also chopped salads, made with cabbages, peppers, onions, carrots, radishes, etc., last much longer than leafy salads. I often make one up and use it to dress my leaf salads. Saves time and energy and is yummy! Also I always cut off the base of green onions and stick them in the dirt...I get lots of free onions that way. No bulb onions, which I use a LOT, but at least plenty of free green onions.
