Cultivation method
Mesclun Combo Cruciferous Deluxe grows in full sun or partial shade , in light, well-drained soil rich in organic matter . Sow directly in the ground as soon as the soil has warmed in spring , and continue sowing every 2 to 3 weeks for a continuous harvest. Spread the seeds 0.5 cm deep , in rows spaced 15 to 20 cm apart, then thin slightly to allow good aeration. Regular watering is essential to maintain a tender texture and prevent the leaves from becoming too bitter. Harvest the young leaves by cutting 2-3 cm from the ground , and let them grow back for a second cutting.
