Know before you buy
The mix includes varieties known for a peppery or mustard-like bite, which adds a sharp, zesty contrast to the milder, earthier greens in the blend. It is designed to provide a complex, balanced flavor that works well in salads or lightly sautéed.
Yes, these greens are well-suited for both containers and raised beds. Just ensure your container has adequate drainage and that you follow the recommended spacing of 3-5 inches between plants to allow for proper airflow.
No, these are untreated seeds. They are a great choice if you are looking for natural or organic-style gardening options.
As an annual vegetable, these greens are typically harvested once they reach maturity at 45 days. You can harvest individual leaves as they grow, but the plant will eventually complete its life cycle and need to be replanted for a continuous harvest.
Both seasons are excellent. These greens thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall, so you can time your planting to avoid the peak heat of mid-summer, which can cause the greens to bolt or become overly bitter.
These seeds are intended for direct sowing into your garden soil. Simply plant them at a depth of 0.25 to 0.5 inches once your soil temperature reaches the recommended 60-65°F range.
