SOWING…Plant seed outdoors as soon as ground can be worked. Plant in rows 4 to 6 inches apart spacing seeds thinly in the row. Can also be broadcast thinly in a section of the garden. Cover the seed with ¼ inch of fine soil well pressed down. Keep soil moist until the seeds start to grow.

HARVESTING…Using scissors, snip the young leaves off about ½ inch above the soil line. For a continuous supply throughout the summer, plant Mesclun each week.
