Sassy Salad Mesclun
The Sassy Salad Mesclun is a custom mix of greens that will fill your salad bowl with many flavors. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. For continuous harvest, cut rather than pull the greens and sow successive plantings every 3 weeks. Mesclun is the French name for a mixture of salad greens. Mescluns are often harvested young for "baby greens" and sold already pre-mixed at farmers markets and grocery stores. Leaf lettuces, romaine lettuce, arugula, endive, spinach, mustard and more, enough variety to please even the choosiest gourmet. Sassy Salad Mesclun is prized by gourmet chefs and down-home cooks alike for the wide range of flavors, textures and colors that add fresh appeal to even the simplest salad. In cool climates plant in the spring, 3 to 6 weeks before the last average frost date. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the plants for water and sun. ... get more information
