Mixed Mild Salad Leaves

Quick and easy to grow, great in pots on the patio. A good source of vitamin C. Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep directly into prepared soil which has been watered.For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm (6”) between rows or sow thinly direct into 25cm (10”) pots. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary, keep moist. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few from each plant when approx. 10cm (4”) high, they will regrow for up to 4 ‘cuts’.For mature lettuces allow 25cm (10”) between rows and thin to 20cm (8”) apart. Harvest whole plants from May. Ideal for gardens where space is limited or in large pots if kept well watered.
