One of my favorite winter salads is shredded turnip and carrots, with sunflower seeds, lemon juice and olive oil :)
My pot is 25 cm diameter, I've put something like 20 seeds, the half of them grew. The best part is they grow ok indoors, no bees needed to pollinate, for instance our lemon trees are indoors for the winter and they are blooming at the moment, unfortunately, so no lemons this summer, most probably.
Sounds yumm! I will definitely try this salad recipe.
I didn't know carrots could grow indoors. Our lemon tree is also blooming. I think I have picked around 7-8 kilos of lemons this month.

Olives go well in that salad as well ;)
Yes and I can't grow carrots outdoors, too many moles in the yard, don't know why and I don't want to kill them. Everything I tried to grow undergrounds, just disappears :|
Our two lemon trees are potted, winters are freezing here and we move them out and in each year, also have to trim them small so they are healthy. Not more than 1 meter height. Harvests are 20-30 lemons tops, if at all.

Oh... thankfully, we don't have moles here. 20-30 are enough for a family. We gave a lot of lemons away.

I envy you a bit, I love lemons in all forms... for salads, few drops on a freshly roasted meat, lemonade. Lemon cakes too :)))
This morning it was -2 C when I checked the temperature at 9:00 AM. Our trees are outdoors only between May and November, sometimes we put them indoors in October, with the first frost.

Likewise. If it wasn't too much a trouble, I would have sent you a few baskets. 😀
Temperatures hardly drops below zero where I live.

I bet your summers are very hot then :)
If I have to choose between a boiling-hot summer and freezing winter, I'd definitely go for the winter. Then I can wear warm clothes, put fire in the fireplace, etc, while in the summer I often feel like I have to take my skin off, lmao. I can't walk naked all the time too :D
We have all the four seasons here, summers > +40 C winters some days < -20 C

We have +50 C in summers and winters don't go below zero usually. But there are regions in the country where it goes below -20 in winters.

Wow... +50 C... I am not sure I will withstand such conditions without training.
Respect! :)
