Growing Success Tips:
- Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.5[2][5]
- Ensure consistent moisture, watering daily to keep soil moist but not soggy[2]
- Harvest outer leaves regularly to promote continuous growth[6]
- Provide partial shade in warmer weather to prevent bolting[3]
Our Lettuce Mesclun Mix offers an unparalleled combination of flavor, nutrition, and visual appeal. By growing your own mesclun, you’re not only ensuring a steady supply of fresh, organic greens but also contributing to garden biodiversity and improved soil health[6].
For an early start, sow seeds indoors 4 weeks before the last spring frost[3].
