Rocket Salad
Rocket SaladRocket Salad, one of the most aromatic and spicy herbs in the garden, with the unique taste that we enjoy in green salads and in cold sandwiches together with lettuce, spinach and Italian parmesan! In recent years, arugula has been particularly popular and is planted in many gardens during autumn and winter, as its cultivation presents no difficulties. And if we don’t have a garden, it doesn’t matter! Growing arugula in a pot is so easy that it’s an ideal starter for novice gardeners, as well as young children taking their first steps into gardening. There are many varieties of arugula to choose from, with more aromatic or spicier flavors. We will also find broad-leaved varieties of arugula with lush vegetation, as well as varieties with a special red-green foliage.
Oregano
OreganoOregano does not have special soil requirements, as long as it has very good drainage to remove water. It is cultivated, even in very poor, dry and stony soils. Oregano gives us lush vegetation and flowering when planted in sunny positions. It is resistant to heat during the summer and relatively resistant to frost in winter. To plant oregano in a pot, place it on a west or south facing balcony. For planting in a rock garden, oregano pairs well with marjoram and thyme, which have similar care requirements.
Radish
RadishRadish, also known as radish or radish, belongs to the vegetables cultivated for their underground part, its characteristic root (turnip) with a crunchy texture and a lot of juice. Radish needs cool, relatively cool weather to grow, with ideal temperatures between 13-19°C. It is resistant to low temperatures and frost during the winter season. Radishes are sensitive to heat, as at high temperatures they show premature flowering, poor root development and a bitter taste. We prefer to plant radishes in sunny positions in the autumn season and semi-shady positions in the spring, depending on the cultivation area and the planting season. We choose loose soils, finely ground, rich in organic matter, so that the underground part of the plant can develop satisfactorily and with good drainage in order to remove water.
Chicory Red Italian
Chicory Red ItalianChicory is a horticultural plant that loves the cold environment and that is why it is planted in the autumn season when we have low temperatures, humidity and few hours of daily sunshine. After all, at high temperatures, the radish blooms prematurely and is unsuitable for consumption. We plant radishes in sunny or semi-shady places and we prefer rich, fertile and cool soils that ensure good drainage. If we plant in the ground, we incorporate organic matter in the form of compost and digested manure for better root development. To plant it in a pot, we use potting soil special for horticulture, rich in organic matter and nutrients, and place the pot on a balcony with western or eastern exposure for the radish culture to thrive.
Leek
LeekLeek, such a delicious vegetable that accompanies many recipes of Greek cuisine! It is distinguished by its long thin neck, narrow green leaves that start from a white bulb that forms inside the soil. Leeks belong to the same family as onions and garlic. It is usually planted in autumn and produces in winter or early spring.
Pepper Green
Pepper GreenPeppers, the vegetable with the unique taste and the most colors than any other vegetable! Peppers are a key ingredient of Mediterranean cuisine, combining a unique taste, crunchy texture and characteristic aroma. The pepper crop reaches a height of about 1 meter and, depending on the variety, forms fruits in various shapes, from oblong to rounder with bright colors such as green, yellow, orange and red. The fruit of the pepper has a very important nutritional value as it contains many vitamins and antioxidants, very beneficial for our health. At the same time, it has a low fat content and is therefore suitable for weight loss diets. The pepper plant belongs to the same family as the tomato and eggplant, the Solanaceae family, and they are native to Central and South America. Pepper cultivation usually begins in the spring. It is a relatively easy crop that with proper care gives us many fruits to enjoy in the summer.
