Liven Up those Workaday Salads with Mild Baby Greens!
Lettuce Mild Mesclun Mix
Specially selected for mild climates (and palates)!
This Mesclun mix contains 5 mild-flavored baby greens: Chervil, Mache, Mizuna Mustard, Purslane, and Red Orach.
A European delicacy finally beginning to make inroads into American cuisine, Mesclun is a mixture of special baby greens, harvested young and added to the more familiar full-size lettuces and other vegetables of the salad. This mild mixture combines fascinating texture, color, and flavor with a mild, buttery taste the whole family will enjoy. Here's what you get:
Chervil
Mache (Corn Salad)
Mizuna Mustard
Purslane
Red Orach
Because they are harvested young and in small quantities, succession-planting is very important for the baby greens in this mixture. In earliest spring or late summer, sow about 5 feet of row each week for daily harvest. Pkt is 1/32 oz, approximately 700 seeds.
