It is also suitable for growing in boxes or pots. All they need is the sun, regular watering and light soil. You can use not only the bulbs, but also the stem, perhaps for pesto or salad. Repeat the sow after a week or two, and you can enjoy the harvest to the first frosts.
Another great choice is leafy types of salads such as Ruko, Dubáček, Mangold or Baby Spinach. All these varieties grow quickly, you reap them gradually and there is no need to wait for the whole head to ripen. The first roller harvest is already in 4-6 weeks. Spinach can also be grown in containers and is really undemanding: it only needs regular watering and ideally more basic soil. You can calmly sow varieties for baby leaves several times during the autumn.
But also try something less traditional: Japanese like Mizuna, Mibuna or Choi grow very fast and tastes a refreshing change. Mibuna is softer than arugula, harvested in 4 weeks, Mizuna has a pleasantly spicy taste and then Choi resembles a combination of spinach and kohlrabi. The advantage is their resistance to lower temperatures and undemanding space.
