What you need to know to Plant & Grow
- Sowing: Mesclun mixes are sun-loving, cool-weather crops that grow best in organic, well-drained soil. Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm deep in rows 45 cm apart.
- Care: An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success.
- Harvesting: Harvest by either pulling the entire plant or by cutting leaves from the main stem at least 2.5 cm above the base—this will allow the plant to sprout new leaves. Once the plants start to bolt (produce rapidly growing flower stems), the leaves become bitter.
- Germination: Germination occurs in approximately 7 days.
