Are seeds for corn salad plants readily available in nurseries - first I have heard of it from a friend and would like to try growing some. If available what is it known as on the seed packet.

Pam, you can buy corn salad seeds from online suppliers, like Egmont Seeds.

For on-going winter greens, let your corn salad go to seed each year. Free fresh greens in winter.

I left a Honi Tsai Tai plant go to seed - loved watching the bees come each morning for the flowers as I had my cup of tea each morning. When finished I threw it under the mango tree. I have had 2 big flushes (dozens of plants) of seedlings come up in the last 6 weeks. I find it hard to germinate the seeds but under the mango heaps.

In the comments about corn salad (valerianella locusta) it was recommended "Not suitable for growing in warm areas." We came across it in southern italy and sicily where it was a staple in supermakets in Autumn (we visited Oct-Nov). Sicily is pretty warm! We are in Northland and will try some as an alternative winter salad.

Where can I buy lambs lettuce in Auckland, or can I buy it from you?

We do not sell seeds or plants through Gardenate. You could try Egmonts.co.nz for seeds.

Kings Seeds have corn salad, and also a winter mesclun mix which is good for cool planting
