Thompson and Morgan Salad Leaves Mesclum Mixed Seeds

Witness the magic unfold with the Thompson and Morgan Salad Leaves Mesclum Mixed Seeds. The salad leaf mixture offers a remarkable blend of textures and flavours, ideal for enhancing salads, sandwiches, or garnishing dishes. By sowing and harvesting year-round, you can ensure a continuous supply of these delicious, refreshing leaves. To grow salad leaves, sow them directly outdoors in the summer or in an unheated greenhouse during the autumn and winter months. Choose well-prepared, fertile, and moist soil in either full sun or semi-shade. Seeds should be sown thinly at a depth of 1cm in drills spaced 38cm apart. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to 10cm apart for baby leaves or to 30cm apart for mature plants. Regularly water the salad leaves and hoe between plants to keep weeds at bay. During dry spells, consider additional watering to prevent bolting, particularly in the two weeks leading up to harvest. A thick mulch can also help retain soil moisture. Baby salad leaves can be harvested as needed by picking a few leaves from each plant, while mature plants can be harvested by uprooting them and trimming off the stems with a knife.
