Salad leaves
By Paul Stevens 14-05-2011
Absolutely wonderful product. I sowed the seed in a 12in tub and its been enough for the 2 of us. We cut it and it comes again and again. I even sowed a second tub "just in case" but as yet we haven't needed it. It also saves valuable garden space as we can grow it on the patio instead of having a 6ft x 2ft piece of garden for the various typed of salad. Brilliant and well recommended.

Sowing Instructions

Sow seeds thinly from late March in broad drills 13mm deep, thinning is not necessary. This crop is very suitable for sowing between longstanding crops such as, beans, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.

Growing Instructions

The soil needs to be rich, moisture retentive and free from weeds. Keep well watered during hot dry periods.

Aftercare

Harvesting can commence 20 days after sowing during the summer months. Pick regularly to encourage new leaves to develop, and sow every 3 weeks for succession.

Kitchen Notes

Serving suggestion - Misticanza with a simple Italian vinaigrette. Wash and pat dry leaves. Blend olive oil, wine vinegar, mustard powder, lemon juice and coarse salt. Toss leaves just prior to serving.
