Mesclun mix- A complete salad from a single bed!

Mesclun is a French term used for a mix of tender young salad greens.

Most of the mesclun greens do best in cool weather and should do well if grown in early spring and later in the autumn. The seeds can be sown outside about two weeks before the last frost date - mid-October or a little earlier should work fairly well.

Although most mesclun greens prefer cool temperatures, they can be kept growing during hot summer weather by frequent planting and timely harvesting.

It's also important to keep the soil evenly moist all the time. Plants will tend to be bitter and bolt (form flowers and seed stalks) if they're stressed from drought or excessively wet conditions.

Think of mesclun as a "renewable" garden crop. Harvest mesclun by using scissors to snip off the tender leafy tops when the plants are only a couple of inches high.

Because you cut the leaves above the crown, the plants continue to grow, and you can cut them again. Never let the plants get any taller than 6 inches

In addition to taste and health benefits, mesclun beds are a treat to the eye with their different hues of green, yellow, gold and red. You truly do have a garden delight worthy of recognition.

By sowing seed every few weeks during autumn and spring in mild-winter climates, or spring into summer in cold-winter climates, you can harvest a bountiful crop over a long season.

Mix includes: Endive, Corn Salad, Rocket, Chicory/Raddichio along with Oakleaf, Curled Green and Curled Red Lettuce.
