SPACING: Sow seeds 1 to 2 inches apart in rows of 6 to 12 inches apart.

HARVESTING: Harvest with scissors about 1 inch from soil line when leaves are 4 to 6 inches tall. Many varieties will grow back for additional harvests.

Ed’s Special Advice: Most components of mesclun grow best during the cooler parts of the growing season. Sow in a mostly sunny spot in fairly rich, well-drained soil kept somewhat moist. Mix includes leaf lettuces, kale, endive, beet greens, spinach, swiss chard, radicchio, and mustard depending upon availability. Make sure you only eat the plants you can identify from the above list.
