Mesclun Lettuce Mix

Mesclun Lettuce

I've created my own Mesclun Lettuce mix containing nine (9) types of Lettuce. I've collected the seeds of plants that bolted and mixed them. I did not measure them, so not sure how much of each will grow. Some types of Lettuce may crowd out others. However, the container above is doing well and has 5-6 types, plus a basil plant. lol. Below are some typical Mesclun Lettuce verities. 

Red Romaine

Red Oak Leaf

Red Leaf

Mizuna

Mache

Green Romaine

Green Oak Leaf

Frisee

Arugula

Lettuce (Mesclun and Sunny Lettuce)

This Mesclun Lettuce is doing great. It wilts back during the day, but bounces right back without any damage in the evening after I water it. 

This Sunny Lettuce is doing well. I just pick off the leaves to make a salad and in 2-3 days there are new leaves to pick. I have Sunny Lettuce scattered in different places and am constantly planting seeds in any free space I find. It takes a while for Sunny Lettuce to get started, but once it gets going it really produces. 

Mesclun Mix

Mesclun is a mix of seven salad vegetables (Arugula, Endive, Red Kale, Red and Green Romaine, Salad Bowl and Lolla Rossa Lettuce) to create a colorful and healthy salad crop.
