Allotment itiniery part 4 - Leaves & 'unusuals'

One of my favourite part of the plot is the cut & come again salad boxes. These are old wooden storage boxes, dismantled & painted, each one holding a selection of leaves that compliment each other - i.e. 'Oriental leaves' & 'Seaside'. Here's my list:

Oriental/Asian:
Ruby mustard & gold
baby purple pak choi
okahajiki

Continental:
Agretti
Verte de chambray mache
sorrel

Olde English:
Watercress
Sweet oakleaf
Webb lettuce

Seaside:
Oysterleaf
Rock samphire
Marsh samphire

l did at one time start a caribbean box, but only got as far as sourcing callaloo for this, which l found not so tasty as the above..
