We'll send two packets: Lettuce Blend and Mustard Blend. Harvest these greens by cutting the leaves with scissors, leaving 1–2" of foliage as well as the apical bud and several small leaves surrounding it, so that they can grow back. Plant each packet in adjoining beds or rows so that the mustards won’t overwhelm the lettuces. Plant lettuces about 4 weeks earlier for them to mature at the same time.
You can enhance your mesclun by adding other greens such as mâche, claytonia and bronze fennel. Add edible flowers of garlic chives, nasturtiums, violas, signet marigolds, borage and mustard blossoms to lend further appeal to the mix, creating delectable color, taste and texture contrasts.
