Growing spring greens is an easy, satisfying project that takes very little time and very little garden space\u2014you can even grow greens in containers! Homegrown spring greens will be fresher than any you can find at the grocery store or farmer\u2019s market, and you can try varieties that aren\u2019t commonly available, like \u2018Red Streaked\u2019 arugula, or \u2018Tokyo Bekana\u2019 Chinese cabbage. If this episode inspires you to start some seedlings of your own, check out this article from Ira Wallace about options that will extend your options beyond the basic greens, and this article on growing your own salad mix.

Expert guest: Lucas Holman is director and lead horticulturist at the University of Tennessee\u2019s Wilson County Agriculture Extension office in Lebanon, Tennessee.
