Planting Tips:
Mesclun Sweet Salad Mix grows quickly and performs best during cool weather. Sow seeds directly in the garden in early spring or fall. Scatter seeds evenly over prepared soil and lightly cover with a thin layer of soil.

Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and while young plants become established. Harvest baby salad greens with scissors when the leaves reach a few inches tall, cutting above the growing point to encourage additional growth and repeat harvests.

For a continuous supply of fresh salad greens, sow another small planting every 1–2 weeks during cool growing weather.
