The cut-and-come-again nature of mesclun allows for multiple harvests, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh greens throughout the growing season.
Growing Success Tips:
- Sow seeds shallowly, about 1/4 inch deep, in well-draining, fertile soil
- Maintain consistent moisture for tender leaves, watering regularly
- Harvest when leaves are young and tender, about 4-6 inches tall
- Provide partial shade in warmer climates to prevent bolting
