Video - Growing Leafy Greens In Your Summer Garden

Here is an interesting gardening video which covers some interesting ideas for greens you can grow in your summer garden. Most people think of summer as the time to grow tomatoes, peppers, beans, corn, etc., but greens are one of the healthiest things you can eat, and many can be grown year-round quite easily - even in containers. Some greens may bolt (flower and go to seed) in hot weather, so for lettuce, arugula, etc., you may need to do multiple short succession plantings, as they will last for a shorter time than they would in the fall or spring. This is fine for sustainable gardens, as you will be able to rotate these in between other crops throughout the season, which helps enhance the soil and reduce pest problems.

Check out this video for some common and less-common greens you can grow in your summer garden:
