Bake some of your lovely bread Tim, cut a handful of leaves, thickly butter the bread, scatter the leaves as thick as you like on the butter, a dash of salt, stick on the bread lid and scoff!  One of my most fave sangers!!  :P :P :P

Mizuna is great-and easy to grow-if you have never tried it it`s not too late

The only comment I would add is that even with our warm days mizuna was always the last that carried flea beetle- they seem to love it. As Tim notes elsewhere, fleece would probably be essential.

Good reminder, Tim. We bought some stuff called 'Braising Mix' from the OGC, but I haven't sown any for a while -small daughter is not so keen on the hotter leaves.

She loves spinach -but only the frozen mush from Budgens -won't touch mine or even the 'premium' frozen leaves.
