Sassy Salad Mesclun
The Sassy Salad Mesclun is a custom mix of greens that will fill your salad bowl with many flavors. Leaf lettuces, romaine lettuce, arugula, endive, spinach, mustard and more, enough variety to please even the choosiest gourmet. For continuous harvest, cut rather than pull the greens and sow successive plantings every 3 weeks. Mesclun is the French name for a mixture of salad greens. Mescluns are often harvested young for "baby greens" and sold already pre-mixed at farmers markets and grocery stores. Sassy Salad Mesclun is prized by gourmet chefs and down-home cooks alike for the wide range of flavors, textures and colors that add fresh appeal to even the simplest salad. In cool climates plant in the spring, 3 to 6 weeks before the last average frost date. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the plants for water and sun. ... more info
Sweet Pea - America The Sweet Pea America, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very old heirloom sweet pea traced back to 1896. The America is very fragrant and is a summer bloomer. The blooming period depends partially upon the weather because the plants usually stop blooming once the weather warms up. The Sweet Pea America has 2 inch flowers that are white with crimson stripes. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. |
