This blend's real strength lies in its speed; you'll be harvesting tender, harvestable leaves in just seven to eight weeks. The loose-leaf habit means you can pick individual outer leaves repeatedly, extending your harvest window well beyond a single cutting. Tight spacing of just one inch between plants lets you maximize production in small garden spaces or containers, while the 16-inch rows keep the whole bed compact and manageable.
This blend shines as a fresh salad green, harvested leaf by leaf to build salads throughout the week. The mix of leaf textures and varieties provides visual appeal and varied mouthfeel, making it a natural choice for composed salads, green mixes, and fresh table service where appearance matters as much as taste.

Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date, then harden off seedlings before moving them outdoors.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed 2 to 3 true leaves. Space plants one inch apart in rows 16 inches apart.
Direct sow seeds into prepared garden beds. Use row cover immediately after sowing to improve germination and prevent soil crusting. As soon as 2 to 3 true leaves appear, thin seedlings to one inch apart.
Begin harvesting individual outer leaves once the plant develops enough foliage, typically around 48 to 56 days from direct seeding. Pinch or cut the outermost leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing and providing multiple harvests from a single plant. You can also cut the entire plant about one inch above the soil line for a complete harvest, or remove it entirely if desired. Check plants daily for leaves ready to pick, as they will eventually become bitter as the plant begins to bolt. Individual leaf picking extends the season considerably compared to waiting for full plant maturity.
