Description

Mr Fothergill’s Salad Leaves Mild Mix Seeds, Subtle flavours and textures. Ideal for gardens where space is limited or in large pots if kept well watered.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into prepared soil. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm between rows or sow thinly direct into 25cm pots. 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 high, they will regrow for up to 4 ‘cuts’. For mature leaves allow 25cm between rows and thin to 20cm apart. Harvest whole plants from May. Generally the larger the leaf, the hotter it will become.
