The Harvest Blend Baby Salad Leaf is one of a series of blends which provide a wide variety of colorful and tasty salads.

They can be grown in open ground or under protection, direct sown into beds and then harvested at 12-15cm tall in as little as 28 days from sowing at peak season. Viridis Hortus Salad mixes can also be sown direct in to pots (use 1-3 liter pots) Just sow little and often to get continuity.

Each of the mixes can be grown all year round, for a continuous supply of tasty and nutritious baby leaves. They can be grown in the home, on windowsills or raised in pots in glasshouses or polytunnel ?S in cooler areas for winter early spring crops.

Sowing:

In autumn and winter seed can be sown into pots or seed trays which can be grown on the kitchen windowsill or in a heated conservatory/greenhouse. Sow 20-30 seeds into a 10-12cm pot using a free draining compost and cover seed lightly after sowing. For spring and summer crops, sow direct into prepared seed beds in the kitchen garden or greenhouse border, and this is the best growing technique for spring and summer crops.

Sow outdoors sprinkle seeds 1/2 inch apart in a 2 to 4 inch wide row covering lightly or broadcast sow.

Tip a small amount of seed into your hand, take a pinch and spread thinly along the trench. Cover with soil, label and water.

If birds are a problem in your garden, spread netting to prevent them eating the seed.

Sow every two weeks for a continual supply of tender young leaf.

Cultivation:

The best tasting leaves come from plants which are grown quickly; this means a temperature of 15-19°C (60-70°F). Under optimum growing conditions a crop of salad leaves can be ready for picking 3-4 weeks from sowing. Slower growing crops can become more fibrous and hotter flavored.

Once cut the plants should have sufficient energy for re-growth to provide a second or even third crop of leaves, giving a regular supply with "little and often" sowings.

Heirloom butterhead, green leaf tinged red.

Lettuce Marvel of 4 Seasons is a very handsome heirloom variety. This is a butterhead type with 12 inch heads and wine red, savoyed leaves which darken as time passes. The undersides of the leaves, and the stems, are pink.
 

Marvel of Four Seasons is slow to bolt and tolerant of high and low temperatures so is a perfect variety to sow from January to April or September to November. Autumn sowings to over winter will need extra protection during the winter months

Start from seed 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in wide rows and thin to 14 inches apart for best-formed heads. Thinned seedlings can be replanted.

Keep soil moist but not soggy. Protect from rabbits and slugs. Extend the harvest season by planting successive crops. Summer heat causes lettuce to bolt.

Pick outer leaves as they grow or harvest all at once. Harvesting when weather or day temperature is cooler will result in crisper leaves. Do not harvest lettuces until you are ready to use it.
 

Sow: Indoors, January to March.
Outdoors: March to April or September to November.
How to Sow:
Sow thinly outside 1cm deep in rows 25cm apart in a well-prepared bed and lightly cover with fine soil & water carefully. Seedlings should germinate in 7-14 days. When large enough to handle thin seedlings to one every 15cm and then again a 2-3 weeks later to one every 30cm. Sow every 2-3 weeks for a continuous supply. Early sowings will benefit from sowing & potting on inside and transplanting outside later when soil has warmed up (April onwards). Late sowings will need added protection during winter months e.g. cloche etc.
 

Care:
In spring/summer keep soil moist especially during dry weather, weed free and protect early/late sowings with a cloche. Best to water in the morning as watering in the evening will increase the risk of disease.
 

Harvest: February to April & June to November.

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season.

Regular feeding is recommended.

Family: Botanical Brassica juncea

A hybrid Green Frills type with extra fine, bright green, well textured fronds. Unlike the standard Green Frills, flavour is quite pungent.

Babyleaf

Babyleaf is a convenient way of describing the optimum growth stage of many different leafy vegetables when cut to provide an individual leaf for salads. This is normally within the range 8-14cm in size. The popularity of bagged salads in recent years has risen sharply due the excellent quality of the components, and over 90% of households in the UK regularly buy their salads in this form.

Viridis Hortus screen many varieties for their suitability for the babyleaf market, examining leaf size and shape, speed of growth, size of cut area (normally stem thickness) ease of harvest, flavour, colour and general appearance, and of course shelf life after harvest.

Do ask us if you want more information about any of our babyleaf products and their suitability for your needs.

Sowing:

Attractive bright green shoots becoming serrated as they grow, deeply cut frond like leaves and a reliable all round performance make this a popular mustard variety. Gives a fresh look and spicy flavour to salads, sandwiches and stir fries. Texture is suitable for washing, flavour medium pungent.

An amazing salad ingredient, very serrated green leaves with excellent flavour and texture. Oriental brassicas are excellent from late summer onwards right through the winter if grown under protection.

Sowing:
Sow small amounts every 3 weeks from late June until late September. Seeds can be sown directly into the ground or into modular trays (5 seeds per cell) and planted out 4 weeks after sowing.

Spacing:
Between rows: 25cm
Between plants in the row: 25cm (5 seedlings per station).

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.

Packet Content (approx.): 900 (1.5g)

Recommended as a winter salad variety by garden writer Joy Larkcom and proving to be very popular with gardeners, Mustard ?Pizzo? is a new mustard green with that is beautifully mild flavoured when young and hot once mature.

The bright green, voluptuous curving leaves are deeply-cut and serrated. They are beautiful as a baby leaf, give volume to winter salads and are very good for bunching.

Sowing: Sow under cover February to May or sow direct April to October Mustard seeds can be sown practically year round. Plant little and often, every two weeks for continuous supply.

Sow sparingly in shallow drills 6 to 12mm (¼ to ½ in) deep. Space seeds 2.5cm (1in) apart for cut-and-come-again salad or 20 to 25cm (8 to 10in) for whole plant production. Seeds germinate in 5 to 10 days at temperatures between 7 to 30°C (45 to 85°F)

Adequate spacing is most important when growing plants to full size. This is easy to accomplish by simply thinning plants as they begin to get crowded in the garden.

Harvesting: 20 days for babyleaf, 45 days to maturity

Mustard plants can be harvested for baby leaf once the leaves are 5cm (2in) tall. For milder leaves, pick young, they are best cropped at around 15cm (6in) for salads.

The plants will grow to around 30 to 45cm (12 to 18in) tall. Mature leaves can be boiled or steamed or braised in a pot with a little butter and garlic. Use scissors or a knife rather than pulling the leaves to avoid damaging the plant. Keep picking regularly to prevent flowers running to seed. Pull and compost the plants once hot weather arrives in the summer, as mustard greens become tough and bitter.

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.

Family: Botanical Brassica juncea

New introduction, with a broad but serrated leaf and red/green leaf quick growing yet refined, with good vigour and uniformity. Makes the classic indent leaf early in the growing cycle, with good texture and colour.

Mustard, Red Lion is a darker red selection than Red Giant, but with similar leaf shape. Fast growing , with good yields.

Position:

Mustard grows best in a sunny position in a fertile soil. It can be sown directly into open ground or can be planted into grow bags. If grown for babyleaf it can be sown into small containers or even windowboxes. Choose a well-drained container that's at least 10 to 15cm (4 to 6in) deep. Containers may need to be watered a couple times a day when temperatures begin to warm. If growing micro-greens, seeds can be planted in shallow flats and harvested about 10 to 21 days after planting. If given adequate light, they can also be grown indoors during the winter.

Sowing: Sow under cover February to May or sow direct April to October
Mustard seeds can be sown practically year round. Plant little and often, every two weeks for continuous supply. Seeds germinate in 5 to 10 days at temperatures between 7 to 30°C (45 to 85°F)
Sow sparingly in shallow drills 6 to 12mm (¼ to ½ in) deep. Space seeds 2.5cm (1in) apart for cut-and-come-again salad or 20 to 25cm (8 to 10in) for whole plant production. Adequate spacing is most important when growing plants to full size. This is easy to accomplish by simply thinning plants as they begin to get crowded in the garden.

Cultivation:
Mustard greens are primarily a cool season vegetable and are at their peak in late spring to early summer. Keep well watered especially in summer. Hot weather causes the plants to bolt and their greens to turn unpleasantly bitter.
An autumn crop is often planted because mustard is frost-resistant and easily overwinters in temperate areas. Protect late sowings with cloches and the plants will keep growing throughout the winter and continue to grow vigorously when temperatures warm and daylight increases.

Harvesting: 20 days for babyleaf, 45 days to maturity
Mustard plants can be harvested for baby leaf once the leaves are 5cm (2in) tall. For milder leaves, pick young, they are best cropped at around 15cm (6in) for salads.
