Tip 1: go for exclusive
The cultivation of spinach or green beans is still very good in the summer. The growth is now very fast. However, a lot can go wrong with this cultivation and if you look in the supermarket, these vegetables are cheap and plentiful.
Go for some surprising vegetables that you won’t find in the store. Raddiccio or red lettuce, for example. If you grow the Red of Verona variety, you’ll have a nice red head of lettuce after winter, which is especially delicious stewed in olive oil. Dill and palm cabbage are also good examples of special herbs and vegetables, which are limited in supply and easy to grow from the summer onwards. The gooseberry is a delicious and beautiful berry and is exclusive.
