Mesclun means a “mixed up mess of baby greens.” You can pick individual leaves or shear off the whole patch about 2cm (1″) from the ground. The plants will re-grow and can be cut again and again. Combining different flavours and textures produces a great range of salad possibilities. Mescluns are easily grown in containers where space is limited. In the garden, plant them somewhere easily accessible for repeat harvests.
3rd time buying these. Never had any issues. Good seeds, fast shipping, highly recommended!
This is hands down the best pickler I’ve ever, ever planted. I bought them initially from a fundraiser and was so pleased with the quality that I’ve already reordered for next year. They grow into a perfect size and even the odd one I missed grew larger but did not yellow as some picklers do if they remain on the vine. They also have very small seeds with lots of flesh. The spines are very sharp till you wash them and the body and flesh is firm, perfect for pickling. They are a deep green colour and look very appetizing in the jars.
